Aww shit! The mods don’t think so. You must conform to the will of the oligarchies or be erased from history. (Or just pictures. They also like to delete people from official pictures.)
But if anyone missed it:
I SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE DON’T LIKE AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIPS!

It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.
For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.
However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)
My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It’s less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain’t salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.
Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn’t matter to you, so be it.
What happens is if chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.
Your post on Reddit reads like an advertisement™️ and karma requirements have been on subs for years. It’s to limit bots with zero karma that typically post spam advertisments. This is a moderator controlled function, usually.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’ll hate on Reddit any day of the week but my complaints need to be educated.
Everything else aside, my biggest gripes are with service control. Instead of just “service” they had to invent a new name that was super close to an existing function (systemctl vs sysctl) and reverse the switch order. (service sshd stop vs systemctl stop sshd.service)
Besides that, I absolutely hate that all the service configs are not in a standard location. Well, you get things like sshd.conf which are still in etc, but the systemctl configs are who knows where.
There are more important things to hate on with systemd, but I went for the superficial this time and I absolutely hate service management with systemd now.
