I compared two ways to apologize after a bad comment and one worked way better

Back in 2019, I had a small cooking blog and I made a really tone-deaf post about budget meals during a crisis. I tried the standard apology first, just saying I was sorry and moving on. The comments got worse, people thought I was faking it. Then I did a full breakdown of why I was wrong, listed specific things I learned, and shared actual resources. The difference was night and day, people actually forgave me. Has anyone else found that a detailed apology works better than a quick sorry?
