Did this guy pay for this article? It's a pure personal branding/ego piece about a guy who watched a lot of YouTube and had also happened to write for Washington Post (owned by Amazon) and The New York Times, known for publishing absolute reprehensible garbage op-ed pieces justifying atrocities perpetuated by neoliberals while ostensibly still being on the left.

I agree, reads like a pure bio PR, the title says it all. Lots of trust building about his personally,the usual pantomime of nazi's and Russian bots, no bias there..

So we should't trust content pushed by people centric platforms, and only trusted news sources with well written introductions..
