[Apocryphon]

This article makes a valid point and is worth discussing but damn if it isn't the epitome of a vacuous content writing blog, complete with a hypocritical coda of "if you like this, you might also like my other articles" and links to social media accounts to further the author's brand.

Twenty years ago, it would've made for an anonymous, conclusion-less personal entry on a Xanga or a Blogspot somewhere. Now, it's another means for (eventual) monetization.

It wasn't even proofread. I feel like I only read the whole thing just because he said I don't have an attention span.

"You won't read this!" is the best way to make people read something.

ahahaha. I think it was a case of reverse psychology and a pinch of culty mind control (you have a problem-- we have solution).

I get a sense it was written on a phone and that each paragraph was written in 2 minutes before they had to doom-scroll for 1/2 hour becz they got bored.

First thought was, give the person a break. It's probably some teenager, but it's NOT.

TFA says he's read books "The Stand" and "Fahrenheit 451", but I question how long ago that was.
