A comment on Feedback Is Rarely a Gift. Parent comment

It's a review for a product, not a creator. There is no "reduction" here of any sort, just you misunderstanding what reviews are.

> I don't really care for reviews.

The sheer fact that you decided to remember and write about some random 1 star review proves otherwise

This is a subtle distinction here, probably related to regional usages.

As used here, "I don't care for" means "I do not like". You've interpreted it to be "I don't care about", meaning "it does not matter to me".

I’m guilty of the same thing occasionally, but this comment is harsh for HN/something I expect on Reddit. We get it, you disagree.

Right, so that cuts both ways. Then review the _product_, rather than using the review as a channel for a whinge about how it didn't land in your hands as soon as you'd have liked. That misses the point of what reviews are too.
