> It's fun to complain about the good ol' days, but I'd rather face the world as it is and find the joy in it. This is a manipulative combination of condescension, gaslighting and emotionalization. "It's fun to complain" trivializes and dismisses a valid observation about the content being submitted as self-indulgent whining. "I'd rather face the world" implies that people who want to see carefully constructed projects and human-written articles about them are refusing to face the world, i.e. delusional. "Find the joy in it" reduces the whole discussion to the question of self-imposed mindset, as if there is no possible rational reason to be unhappy about what's going on. |

Each clause you've highlighted has a nugget of truth, but that nugget is not inherently negative, it's just a different perspective which you aren't picking up on.
