Keep in mind that art is most properly classified as a subset of communication, so in certain cases a very similar vocabulary will be used regarding them.

You say the author is incorrect in implying that artistic expression may inhibit us, yet in his context, artistic expressions or attempts thereof do inhibit the users, because they're attempting to communicate artistically, rather than directly and immediately as the author wishes.

No. I didn't say any such thing. Please don't misquote me. It's not that I don't think that trying to make better content is inhibitive, it's that it's worth it. Quantity, populist or not, does not automatically usurp quality.
