This reads like speculation with regurgitated old news and insinuations.

Earlier this year, a youtuber speculated on the cause of a (small aircraft) crash and was threatened with a lawsuit by the family of the pilot- he had to issue a full retraction.

Given how early the investigation is and the magnitude of this crash, I wonder how open the author is to being sued by Boeing? How is this any different than the youtuber lawsuit? Any lawyers want to weigh in?

I was going to say, this is just a list of accidents and ADs with no actual analysis or even an attempt to explain specifically what the through-line is. I'm no Boeing fan, and there may very well be systemic issues that need to be addressed, but this article hasn't succeeded in identifying them.
I read it more as a timeline of Boeing failures and the type of reputation Boeing now (rightfully) has. There is little speculation about what actually happened to the Air India 787.
