Agree. Do people really expect in-depth, reasoned critiques to Dribbble posts? Who has that kind of time?
Funny thing is a lot of people actually mind critiques and will basically delete or ignore them as they use Dribbble as a portfolio platform, and they don't want potential clients to notice the 'mistakes'. As long as they don't finish off with 'please check out my work' then I give no fucks.
It accomplishes being funny. It's that thing humans do when they open their mouthes, squint a bit and make a repeated halting "ha" noise that causes them to struggle to breath a bit.
Makes you think, "what are you missing that people find attractive about this project. Or maybe you are the target audience." This project does attract hate, and therefore all the critics. It's simple execution allows room to interpret our own feelings about it. And right now, no one can argue its impact. It's opened this post to lots of discussion. In that way this project accomplishes alot.
At least, I know it's valuable to you Eli, you've made a name for yourself sharing subjects to heavily critique. It wouldn't surprise me if you somehow had a hand in making this project.

Agree completely. I find them to be more anti-intellectual than the vacuous messages themselves. Which is what's interesting about how popular they are.
