It's a strange thing to watch someone admit their own ignorance, and then immediately disregard it, in order to make a case for something that they - by their own admission - can't possibly understand. It's a doublethink poem. I don't think; therefore, I am.

Perhaps the disconnect is his belief that "what I do know is technology and UI/UX." Perhaps he really believes he knows how to build technology like this. But his complaints are those of a person who clearly only thinks of technology, as technology. Not as the stupid redneck in Arkansas who needs to use a shitty mobile connection in order to find out if diapers are on sale yet; but as the lofty technologist, surveying the digital landscape from his 100-gigabit 16-cpu latest-generation pocket powerhouse, flicking through content faster than it can render, concluding that the technological marvel of dreary old-world tech to be wanting.

The poor fools! They don't understand what I, a technology UI/UX expert, want in a mobile app! How foolish that they have not implemented what their competition has. It can only be incompetence. Not to worry though. I, the technological wunderkind, will write a blog post. I will educate them on their shortcomings, and inform them of the correct path to profitability. It's my duty to help these poor sods realize the truth: that they are not yet advanced enough. But with my help, they'll get there.

You wrote three long paragraphs without mentioning a single point where the big post was wrong or an explanation for one of the shortcomings. Impressive!
