I may have just picked this comment to express overall frustration so for that I apologize.
But I don't know - writing is something that comes in a flow. This wasn't some deliberate clickbaity thing by the author, they just wrote it in a way that that made sense to them.
It also seems that the author themselves did not consider the setup at first, which happens, as sometimes we have tunnel vision.
You may criticize his abilities I guess, although overall it just felt like an account of things as they happened to the author, not considering how someone might be trying to guess things once they publish it.
So yeah, I don't know, I just feel like there's too much negativity sometimes. But maybe I overreacted.
fwiw I don't think you overreacted. It's not like anyone's making hbn read this story. it's like complaining about the movie Titanic, that because we know the boat sinks, its not worth watching.
the alternate version of this post goes "I fixed my dad's Internet. The neighborhood's tree grew too tall and blocked the signal so I upgraded the 10 year old hardware. The end." How much less fun and interesting is that?
