The GNOME Foundation has been going downhill for a while, they keep having to cut spending, and cut, and cut. The latest is:

Bots aggressively scrapping everything they can.

It's really, really, really bad reportage. 90% of what they post is just rewording emails from mailing lists with nothing added at all. They're just regurgitating words they don't understand.
They focus a lot on drama and it's like a twelve year old decided to write about all the most superficial drama without any technical understanding of what they're writing about.
Their "benchmarks" have been heavily criticised too and it's clear they basically have no idea what they're doing and the numbers aren't to be trusted.
Their English prose is terrible. "For this ..." wut?
All in all, just a sorry excuse for a website. If it were a newspaper, the appropriate term for it would be a "rag".

Err, not adding their own input is good reporting.
Let the audience decide for themselves what to think.

Their hubris may have finally caught up with them.

"No, fuck you. You'll use your computer how we tell you to, and you'll like it!" just isn't very compatible with "Please give us more money!"

Even Apple allows more user customization and choice than Gnome does these days.

The only reason I use desktop Linux is because of GNOME and the UX of the GTK ecosystem. Not everyone care about 5 billion points of customization, they care about simplicity & consistency. π

I'm so glad KDE forces me to use every point of customization and doesn't allow me to enjoy their well-curated default experience out of the box.
It's great that they don't tuck the power-user features away behind advanced options menus and give me a simple almost gnome-like experience from the get-go.
Even better, I'm glad that KDE doesn't dare to take user feedback into consideration by hosting KDE community summits where they prioritize three major user concerns per session, instead of telling users that a feature everyone wants doesn't belong and reclassifying as wontfix.
(For those unable to tell, this is pure snark and sarcasm, KDE does all these amazing pro-user things and gnome doesn't.)

Yes, whip me harder daddy.

Watch people unironically celebrate FOSS developers running into financial issues from bot traffic, because they don't like Gnome shell.
Wait a second. Is this just Lunduke gaslighting people again, like the last time all the idiots were saying that Gnome was going to go bankrupt within a year?
