Another piece of "Insight Porn" labelled as "No more insight porn", how ironic.

And when do people like the author start labelling any over-doing, over-indulging behaviour "porn"?

Should I expect in a few decades time that people binge-watching documentary will give birth to "doco-porn"?

Catchy marketing at its worst.

On the topic though, beneath whatever words he put on top it's an age-old idea that until you start doing something hands-on, it'll be hard to tell what you already know and what you don't.

The advice giving and taking is not a new concept, and data-driven is not going to change it. If one doesn't like handling slimy things, no matter how good a piece of cooking advice is - it's not going to help. Imagine capturing meat can be slimy in datasets.

It is indeed quite ironic. This article would have landed much better had it not tried to make a better version of the insight porn that it criticises so much. Just listing the problematic content would have been better.

If the content doesn't change, the title is not going to help.

>Just listing the problematic content would have been better.

Just Like you said.

This, afterall, is not an informative piece of writing; but rather more akin to clickbait.

Looking at OPs username and assuming he isn't taking the piss, he should be happy to have generated enough traffic by now.
