They should not have complained so harshly, but the entire subthread is little more than snobbery towards cultural trends.
The top comment isn't even about the content of the article.
Being downvoted for answering a straightforward question with a straightforward answer is certainly a frustrating feeling, and it's one I relate with. There's another aspect: It highlights that the question itself was disingenuous. No one was seriously asking whether people can read articles like these.
It's true that all of this is beside the point, and that the only mod action here was to request that they not conduct themselves badly. That's fine. But the frustration that led to their behavior is valid. It's much easier to call out bad behavior than to influence disingenuousness; I'm just hoping both will go away.
