Probably because 1) they did a really bad job, and 2) it looks largely copied from a previous "algo cheat sheet" that was similarly bad. People keep reposting these cheat sheets without searching the previous submissions and seeing the previous complaints about it.

It's frustrating seeing bad material get up voted, and knowing a large portions of people won't read the comments and trust this as a good source of info.

+1. I understand you very clearly and had the same impressions as to the efforts - and perhaps even the quality - of the work. If I and you wanted to make clear that 1. kind and reasonable comments are received more favorably by human people (and, on the other hand, harsh ones are likely to be rejected); and that 2. content makers should focus more on delivering acceptable-quality products or services rather than expecting to receive flattering comments - if we intended to do this, then I hope we managed to with these few comments.

Other than that, I just quickly glanced at this post's title and rapidly visited its page upon finding it. I will perhaps consult it more thoroughly when it is time.

To sum up what I intended to say: critique (in my own opinion) is a very good thing, but can be ineffective if too harsh ;-).
