Comments can be problematic. On the one hand, feedback is always appreciated, but I've seen what I called unnecessary negativity a lot these days. Dunno if it's the right expression, but it describes how some people do not read what authors write, deliberately or not.
Instead, they usually nit-pick small details in the post.
For example, the author might write "my approach has some inconveniences and limitations," but as some "readers" don't take the time to read the post completely, they might say "your approach is limited."
This often ends up in a very weird and non-constructive dialog that can last forever.
Fortunately, the vast majority of comments do not belong to this category, but still, it can be time-consuming, perhaps discouraging, for content creators.
Thank you for reading it and coming to that conclusion.
And yesss, that's exactly what's happening. People focus on these little nitpicks, and I'm like did you miss the entire point of this post? Good perspective to think about because maybe there are ways I can communicate to readers/ content consumers that they don't miss the big picture.
Either way, sometimes like you said..people deliberately ignore the truth..so I just have to ignore their comments. I'll just focus on the positive comments or the comments with constructive feedback!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Love the post: informative, honest, balanced.
