it’s probably possible to get addicted to complaining, but almost everyone I know complaints until that specific well is dry and then they’re done and they move on and do something else. but they couldn’t hit equilibrium easily bc supply demand curve was always off

complaining has been unfairly demonized because the market for complaint hearers has always been vastly smaller than the market for complainers. now we can complain as much as we want in whatever detail we want and hear well reasoned feedback on it, and that’s broadly good

Positive users value AI feedback for delivering concrete critiques unlike kings surrounded by assentators, while negative users challenge claims that complaints typically resolve issues before people move on.

if you look at kings or whatever who had infinite people willing to listen and didn’t have to worry about how they felt they’d mostly complain for a bit and then feel complete and then move on until they had something else to complain about later. now we’re all kings

@nickcammarata And we can get concrete feedback. Kings suffered from being surrounded by assentators.

This contradicts most of the complaining done on social media. People have an issue or set of issues and circle back to it as The Explanation for why things are bad
