It has been endlessly fascinating over the years to see the people who complain when APOD includes a picture (or video) that doesn't fit their idea of what APOD should be. These complaints are often framed as if this is a slipping of standards or a personal affront to them or someone they know. They often ignore the long history (from 1995) of showing things that weren't strictly "astronomy" e.g. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap950806.html was a rocket launch.
