I just don’t understand people who get so upset that someone might like something enough to talk about liking it. So upset that they won’t ever try the thing. Like … ok I guess? You do you. It’s just a strange way to make decisions.

At least this is just a consumer product. Worse is when people here say they make technical decisions using the same process. They’d black list certain tech because they’ve heard people talking about how it solved their problems. Also ok, but now I know I should avoid them professionally.

I get the impression it's the volume of the folks who sing its praises. There was a web3 crowd for a while, Bitwarden champions would show up to any mention of a password manager, and (ahem) some AI champions can be over the top

In all of these cases, a reasonable counterpoint is that if it were that applicable for all audiences, one wouldn't need to sing its praises, it would sing its own praises

		It sings its own praises... how exactly? Maybe by a bunch of happy users talking about how they like it and it's a better solution to the problem that the thread or article is about without being explicitly paid? Which is exactly what's happening here and some people are complaining about it?

I tried it, it's slow and bad and free tier is only 100 requests, and it's too expensive, and price is unjustified. I use gemini with google search grounding.
