Why would they make the article at all then?

[–] Ragnell@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are discussing it, and an article that downplays it will suggest the discussion is overreaction.

But the article doesn't downplay it, it just uses bad examples. You'd have to be technically adept enough to know that the examples were bad whilst also not knowing what meta actually collects
