No offense taken. I am just here to give the clear facts and guide the discussion. I think that’s one of the big issues in these kinds of discussions. A lot of the time the “facts” are just plain old. Not necessarily incorrect back in 2016, but things change. Usually correcting someone throws someone into a “defensive stance” and then you see people on Hacker News who suddenly fall down a weird rabbit hole of absurdity 
. It’s really not worth anyone’s time. Sharing information will always help in the long run though, so we need to just keep sharing the updates.
I think the answer is, cite your sources, share links, and write more blog posts showing how things are improving. Just keep sharing all of the good that’s coming out. Some people will say that’s not acknowledging the flaws, but whatever that’s a silly stance: how can you be writing about flaws you fixed if you didn’t acknowledge there was a flaw to begin with? 
Just keep swimming.
