Perhaps, but also at the end of the day, the situation isn't always so distinctly binary; yes or no, hate or love, all or nothing. Sometimes you like a thing but don't like things about it, and so you provide feedback and hope it gets better. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes a Japanese man gets more rings after he tells a portion of his consumerbase that they should go play ultimate [if they want to feel like they're playing the game].
At some point, more changes come in and one of them becomes the straw for the camel's back and then we leave because we've had enough.

I guess if you're trying to tell me that any sort of need to provide feedback should be avoided in favor of just dropping the product entirely, then I would tell you not to worry your pretty little head about it because we will, eventually, when that time comes. Though I would then question why you haven't left, because you have also felt the need to provide feedback, and have provided in turn. So by all rights, you should have fucked off just as much as the rest of us should have.

But if you're not trying to tell me that, then I'm not sure why you're so intent on trying to spur binary choices such as "like it and shut up" or "don't like it and leave." I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with some kind of savior complex you would come up with if I didn't write this particular sentence, but I suppose I would believe it if you were to tell me that you're tired of seeing the feedback and the arguments, to which I would then say: try to not take things so heavily to the heart regarding opinions about things that have little, if anything, to do with you and especially by people you know almost nothing about.

Frankly, this forum would be a lot better if everyone just let those who have feedback provide it and leave the feedback be, whether they disagree with it, how it's written, what it's about, who it's from, or not. But everyone has pennies-worth of thoughts to give about everything, which leads to the constant bickering and eventual censorship of feedback without it ever having to even reach the company, which is probably what they wanted in the first place.
