There are some interesting points. And I do agree that outrage-driven clickbaitiness has too much become the norm.
But I'm somewhat bewildered by the sense of authorial entitlement. I'm reminded of a piece by someone at Salon, maybe 15 years ago, whinging about lack of respect from readers, and resulting emotional pain. Maybe it's just that I grew up in academia, where people might gut your latest work through a seemingly innocent question during a seminar.
