> So, sure, some people are just natural born whiners who will never be happy. But some people just have good taste or instincts and can tell when stuff is broken. I'd say ignore them at your own risk.

Here's some food for thought: whiner communities create a conservative feedback loop that preserves existing problems and singles out for attack those who try to do anything about them. The primary output from these communities is creating a chilling effect that dissuades everyone from acting upon a problem, as doing anything about anything singles you out for attack and criticism.

If you fix a problem, people stop whining. There are no praises, victory laps, or any recognition though. There is only bitching about issues.

That's the problem with whiners. It's a culture based on not fixing problems and attacking those who dare do anything about anything. That's why you must stay away from whiners and complainers. They don't build up, they thrive in tearing others down.
