I find this a little frustrating, they’ve noticed a pattern of behaviour that concerns them in an area they are clearly invested in - yet they have no thoughts or suggestions on how to address this? Is it possible they are not offering such thoughts because of the same issue they have highlighted in the article?

Why does someone need to have a solution in order for their observation of a problem to be considered valid?

Maybe the problem is real but they just don’t have as solution?

I noticed it happened a lot on MeFi when I was active there. Vast reams of text about how terrible X is, but ask what we should do about it and... crickets.

Yes, the observation's valid, but... I don't know. When the conversation keeps happening the same way, over may topics, you have to figure there's something deeper going on.

There’s obviously something deeper going on.

Can you say what you think it is?

Ironically, no. I only noticed the pattern ;)
