I think there is a vast difference between recognizing ways that Nostr must improve and offering suggestions about a possible path toward those goals that could be implemented, vs just moaning and complaining that Nostr isn't as good as [insert any centralized platform that is only able to be such a smooth experience because it has 100% control over everything and makes money selling everyone's data], without offering anything valuable to contribute to improving Nostr.
The latter is very easy but adds no value to the community and no assistance to the devs building on this protocol. The latter requires much more thoughtfulness and recognition of WHY building the things they want is more difficult, if we are to stick to the principles of decentralization, permissionlessness, and censorship resistance via redundancy of data, that are the reason Nostr was created in the first place.
