Weird how that's never been the case for many of my family in the 40 years I've known us to keep cats.
My sister runs a vet hospital. Last time I checked the prevailing wisdom was "yeah of course you'll have to trim them because there's nothing inside that'll provide the same wearing action and keep them short otherwise" but I can ask again if need be.
Where'd you hear such crazy ideas?
That's not a crazy idea. Go ask your sis. Catss unlike dogs, have blood vessels and nerves in their nails so you can only safely trim them a few mm. A scratching post or something similar gets the job done in a safe way without trimming.
Nobody is talking about cutting the whole nail off... We've been saying trimming this whole time. I don't know where you got the idea that we were advocating cutting blood vessels instead of just doing the safe bit.
He / she is an influencer or some other scum, don't even pay attention to them.
"Don't feed the trolls" is a Golden rule of the internet, However, providing well sourced and constructed counter arguments can be good for anyone else following the chain
So they don't hear only the crazies talking
