Perhaps writing in a less condescending way might attract fewer downvotes.

It's hard to tell someone they're mindlessly repeating years-out-of-date, inaccurate memey tropes without coming across as condescending.
> go figure I get downvoted for pointing it out.
I really hate this "I'm only stating the truth that people don't want to see! Wake up sheeple!" attitude that some people seem to cop.

When I point out that something is out-dated and inaccurate and then someone repeats the exact same trope I'm criticizing along with a downvote... what reaction am I supposed to have?
How would it go over if I wrote a blog post about how amazing iOS is now that it doesn't look all Aqua-themed despite that change happening years ago?

Jeez, iOS is just looking so old: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/IOS_5_home_sc...
Again, none of this is new for people who are actually using a recent version of Android in the last 2-3 years, but go figure I get downvoted for pointing it out.
Just as your comment proves, it's a sad, tired and completely out-dated meme that Android doesn't have good UX. And then these blog posts come along and I roll my eyes because my old phone that is 2 major revs behind Nougat looks and behaves virtually identical to Nougat.
Ironically, there are good features in the last few major revs, but they're more about granular permissions and other functionality that isn't touched on by this article at all.
