why the negative attitude?

I think a lot of it springs from propping up the egos of my friends during the Riddell Productions era. Stephen, Ethan and Jake were all kvetching to me about their gripes, plus I had gripes of my own. After 2020, it's mostly the smugness of my bougie 'allies' that annoys me. If my 'allies' spent half as much time communicating with me via email as they do bitching about me behind my back, I think we'd all be much happier.
