The opposite of criti-hype is *materialistic* criticism, grounded in independently verifiable claims about how these scams work. To be a good tech critic, you need to start by assuming that a company that lies to its *users* about what it's doing is perfectly capable of lying to its *customers* and *investors* about what it's doing (that is, "even if you're paying for the product, you're still the product").
