While I am totally on board with the idea... the article doesn't really say what to actually do to help?
"we at Handmade community" - and no link to that community anywhere
blog itself? 2 posts a year, and 2025 posts aren't even on the blog itself (just redirects)
Yes, tooling and toolmaking should be promoted - but promotion itself should also be accessible somehow?

My exact complaint. What is the "handmade" community? At first I thought he was talking about woodworking or knitting.
Also the reddit comparison is great, but I wish he would have talked about why the slop is there in the first place.
I'm pretty sure new reddit isn't optimized for speed, it's optimized for analytics and datamining.
I bet they use all those backend calls to get really granular session info. When something is super slow, it's not that it's unoptimized, but rather it's optimized for money over user experience.

Side note, but this article reads like a Wes Anderson film, if that makes any sense.

I haven't seen his whole filmography, but I can see Asteroid City in this, yeah.
