People are grumpy (a.k.a. you can't please everyone)

If there's one thing social media can teach you, it's that people are grumpy. No matter what is posted, someone somewhere is going to find a reason to complain about it.

You can post about money falling from the sky for anyone who wants it, and someone will undoubtedly complain that people don't deserve it and will waste it on stupid things.

There's a lesson to be learned from this: there is no pleasing anyone.

So don't try to when you're writing. Don't focus on finding the words that will make absolutely everyone happy. Those words don't exist. Find the words that make you happy, and then focus on finding the audience that will appreciate those words the most.
