CMV: "Every case is different / ask your doctor" is gatekeeping bs
This is most commonly seen with law firms / healthcare providers, where they publish a general article about some question and end with this to encourage a consultation. I consider this gatekeeping because I assume / it is reasonable to assume that every profession has an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), i.e. a series of "If this Then that, Else ((nested) If this Then that, Else...)".
For example, for every case a lawyer will handle, there will be some applicable law. Because the law defines the condition for someone to be considered guilty, the lawyer just applies the conditions to find feasible defenses. For the sake of this discussion, case law is treated the same as statutory law. Thus, lawyers just "execute" a series of "if-else" statements.
It's the same for doctors. A doctor orders a series of labs (or observe symptoms), and based on those ("If-else") make diagnosis or prescribe medication (and decide dosage).
TLDR: "Every case / everyone is different" is not true. Almost everything (or at least the most common things) can be described as a bunch of "If-else"'s, thus the claim of "uniqueness" is simply gatekeeping and a way to generate revenue.

On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s why opinions are all over the place
From my side, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what changes the context. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
To be fair, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. Hard to say where this lands long term.
Honestly, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone
Reaction: Take it off us, It burns us!!!
the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s the part people are stuck on Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.
Just reading this, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable
the way this is presented changes how it lands Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
From a neutral view, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
To be fair, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to That’s what changes the context. Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.
Reaction: Title*
Bluntly speaking, this solves one problem while creating another That’s what changes the context. We’ll see how people react over time.
Reaction: very shocking
Without overthinking it, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out.
Honestly, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where the disagreement starts Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
From the outside, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s just my read on it.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move which explains why reactions are split Time will tell.
Bluntly speaking, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
On the surface, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out.

Trying to be fair, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.
this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. That’s just my read on it.
From where I sit, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Not convinced this is settled yet. Others will probably see it differently.

On the surface, the main issue seems to be how this is handled That’s the key detail here. That’s the impression it gives me.
If you zoom out, this depends heavily on what happens next That part stands out.
Reaction: This meme is brought to you by a lack of sleep
Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me This could age very differently in a week. At least from my perspective.
this solves one problem while creating another
Without overthinking it, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s what people are responding to That’s what makes this interesting. Others will probably see it differently.
Honestly, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.

Not gonna lie, the way this is presented changes how it lands which is why this is getting picked apart Interested to see the follow-up. That’s the impression it gives me.
I get the idea, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s what people are responding to
From a neutral view, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s the part people are stuck on Feels like there’s more coming here.
Real talk, this feels more about execution than intent which explains why reactions are split Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
From a neutral view, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Feels like there’s more coming here.

From my side, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that tension shows up immediately That’s the key detail here. Others will probably see it differently.

I get the idea, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where people will push back Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s just how it reads to me.
At this point, the follow-through is what will decide this That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Real talk, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which makes the reaction pretty predictable
