The bit that's new to me is "popularized". How popular was this block list and how much of the popularity of it could be attributed to Wil?

Also, do people really contact potential employers through Twitter and don't have an alternative like email?

He was apparently patient zero for the list's spread through hollywood and other creative industry twitter.

Beyond that, no idea - I'm a bystander who happened to've read a few articles giving various points of view on this and have pieced together what I hope is an accurate 10,000ft view, but YMMV definitely applies.
