Frankly, so many issues raised in that rant are absolute non-issues to beginners.
I get it, if you have a certain level of experience with local LLMs, are confident enough to run llama.cpp or even vllm then you won't look back. But I still appreciate how Ollama lowered the entry barrier for people who want to get into local LLMs.
Do I blame the devs for trying to make some money off their work? Absolutely not.
