So Why Not Vote Instead Of Whining About The Results?

It seems the young are very vocal about things but actually dragging their Aristotle down to vote is too much like hard work.

Not apathy as stated in the article but complete and utter stupidity. The young as a herd know nothing and can do even less for themselves. They might stand a chance if they ever get their eyes off whatever dross they're viewing on their phones but I doubt it. I despair for the future, I really do.

In Australia voting is compulsory, but spoiling your voting paper is part of the democratic process.

“The deadline for registering to vote was extended because the website stopped working early. That mean't people who were within the deadline could not register.”
No, I’d not forgotten the history:
http://
“The glitch, blamed on record demand, lasted from 22:15 BST on Tuesday until after the midnight cut-off.”
So, having had weeks of notice, they leave it until less than two hours before the deadline. Rather like arriving at a football ground at five to three expecting a smooth run through the turnstiles and then moaning because you missed the kick-off. Yes, you should be able to arrive at 2:55pm, but it’s foolish to do so.
No, there’s no firm evidence that all the latecomers were younger people, but people who are registering tend to be either people who have recently moved or those registering for the first time (i.e. mainly younger people). Those seen moaning on the telly that they had been unable to register were predominantly young, first time voters. Older people tend to get their affairs in order and don’t leave things to the last minute. This allows them time to deal with the problems of the type that people faced at 10:15pm on cut-off day.

A couple of heads on the telly is not evidence. The newsrooms do not wait for people to come to them, they go looking for people who fit the narrative. So they will go to a University refectory and ask if anyone was affected.
Later today you will see young people's reaction to Corbyn's re-election because the journalists will actively seek out their view, because it fits the narrative that Corbyn's supporters are naive and don't know how to win elections.
