His critics are actually terrible. The way he criticizes makes him look like a jerk and he doesn't give any constructive feedback. I mean, if the COSMIC team was not doing anything to improve the product and just riding with the positive wave of reviews, I could almost agree with him, but that's not what's happening at all. WTF is he going on about? Did something happen that we don't know about?

Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

My only problem with cosmic and system76 is that they are profit motivated companies. Really don’t wanna get bit in the ass later when they start full monitization
You should stop using Linux then. The Linux kernel, along with most open source software, is developed and sponsored by profit organizations. Without them, open source wouldn't be able to thrive.
if vaxry dislikes something, i know it's good.
He feels threatened by the work of the COSMIC DE as this DE will basically offer a smoother end user experience without the caveats of other DEs. Once it is out of it's Alpha to Stable development cycle, of course. COSMIC will be at a big advantage of not having any legacy code holding it back, and will purposefully avoid a lot of the annoyances of current DEs on the scene. I'll let the System 76 team cook before passing any solid judgements on COSMIC. There are a few years yet before COSMIC becomes something amazing (I'm just guessing, take this with a grain of salt).
I don't really care about his opinion opinion, but maybe nazis will listen.
He claims the developers are hostile to negative feedback, but for anyone who follows the issue trackers they're actually quite open to feature requests. Some get talked with milestone goals, some for final release, but it's based on available resources and reasonable timelines.
He also claims Gnome implements things people ask for, which is one of the most hilariously inaccurate statements I have ever seen in my entire life.
From one of the comments in this video, my personal favorite is "wake up babe, new vaxry drama dropped". If he read the issue trackers on github, he would see just how aware the devs are of what they need to work on. It's actually been pretty awesome to see the prioritization of work and estimated timelines.
Gnome implements things people ask for
I still use GNOME but with an extension to prevent the behaviour mentioned above. The discussion in that thread was pretty wild.
I'm only 10 posts in and my head is already spinning. How do open-source development teams run like this?
Must be difficult since they don't have telemetry to work with.
I read the actual post, and it's just dripping with salt and jealousy.
