What are you supposed to do when you recognize a shortcoming or a way society/technology has regressed, but the thing is out of your or anyone's control to actually fix? Not talk about it?
> What do we get from these endless articles about why some product or technology sucks?
Recognition of the problem, so that no one could just claim that everything is great, when there are good demonstrable historical reasons to rightfully claim otherwise. Sure, on one hand some of it might make you feel worse, but on the other, i think it's nice to document how things were in a time where many weren't around to experience all of it. Not everyone should grow up with only the knowledge of walled gardens, closed platforms and largely centralized and corporation driven Internet.
Very rarely (but still) you also get actionable steps to take, or the ability to build communities with like minded individuals, such as: https://512kb.club/
Or maybe just fun little projects, for example, by people like Luke Smith: https://based.cooking/ (there is information at the bottom of the site about it)
