very similar to my own experiment on Ender 3 and also to the tons of posts on reddit
Actually, the ender experience is more a lego experience when you have to buy tons of add ons, upgrades, days to learn systems & paramters in slicers & firmwares.
Also think about the Ender 3 burning PSU trend 4 years ago.
times to times, another comment pop on reddit such as "i own 12 ender 3 and sell my production, never did a single upgrade, printing at 50mm and it works like a charm since day one" but it's not majority
I believe one of the big point missed is that community contribution totally disapeared of the public internet.
In the past you were able to find anything you want by just typing anything in google, on all the forums & microblogs.
That content disapeared from internet, replaced by discord & instagram, which are not public.
Reddit is the main community remaining public, this is why people are typing "pizza reddit" while the main contributions are not on the reddit community but on the the discord from the pizza reddit.
So now, when you want to go deep into the topic pizza, you have to:
--> go to the pizza reddit
--> get the discord adress
--> connect to the redditPizza discord
--> search "mozzarella" on the shitty discord search
