The problem with that line of thinking is that it comes from an average mindset. There’s nothing wrong with that unless you’re the one making complaints that a new system will make your work not look as good. Seems like a race to the bottom to me.
To put it another way, if it’s just a job to you, dealing with criticism is part of what you’re getting paid for anyway, same as everyone else. And if that’s still too much to ask, you can point the finger at the lack of research that isn’t profit-driven.
It’s one thing to optimize an abstract pursuit of knowledge, but you also gotta remember that you need this to be a job people are willing/able to do.
