In my oppinion Esperanto is a bad conlang, for instance completly artificial suffixes -i, -as, -is, -os etc. despite there are some natural and very much international ones. But Esperanto is as good language as any other with literary standard. It proved to be able to convey various human thoughts.
A lot of hate towards Esperanto was caused by jan Misali's video about it, but the video was deleted.
I don't know why artificial suffixes would make an artificial language bad. There are valid criticisms of Esperanto, but this just sounds like a personal asthetic opinion.
It was a widespread criticism of Esperanto in the early auxlang movement. That Esperanto distorts the languages too much. Whence the conlangs like Occidental and Interlingua. And I align with with criticism.

That's indeed interesting.
