I get the mob vote discourse to a certain extent (I have a post on it), but I genuinely don't understand everyone hating on the new updates. I keep seeing all these videos being like "IS THIS THE END OF MINECRAFT?!?!?" or "MINECRAFT IS BORING NOW!!" and I don't really get it. These "labor of love" games that keep updating constantly are rare, y'know? Most companies would've come up with a Minecraft 7 at this point or paywalls covering updates (*cough cough* EA *cough cough*). The fact that they're still putting all this content into it after all these years is cool. And it clearly isn't dying, I mean, QSMP and Hermitcraft have a MASSIVE fanbase, and if you were to hop onto hypixel you'd still see a bunch of players. And pinterest is full of new builds and stuff all the time.
I feel like the people who are complaining are maybe just in a Minecraft slump? I know that sometimes I just. Don't feel like it. And that's okay, I'll wait for a month or so and then hop back on. But whatever their reason, I feel like putting all that negativity on the devs and the community (especially the people who are still hyped about the new updates and stuff) just really brings the vibe down. I get constructive criticism—that's important and good talks to have—but I feel like right now, people are just complaining. It's borderline toxic fanbase stuff, sometimes.
Anyways remember that above all the point is to have fun!! If you aren't having fun, you can just, y'know, not engage. But if you are having fun, keep at it! Don't let anyone else kill your vibe.
