I've recently read through many of the author's articles and also through his LinkedIn content, and came to the opposite conclusion. The intentional "In-Your-Face-Trolling" style is intended as a cover for "Impostor Syndrome in Overdrive", which lots of us suffer. Yet he was able to fool so many! Just check the "Compliments" section on his website :)

I made the following comment about him in a conversation with a coworker: " The guy who authored the article is mad. Certifiably mad. Just spewing around pure unadulterated truth. (LinkedIn link goes here) What does it tell about me (or anybody) who so far hadn't found anything in his writings to disagree about? "

Krazam (search YouTube) is the other example of largely the same. But because it is visual it is a bit more obvious.

It tells they're too excited by the delivery and aren't thinking about the merit of what's being said.

Same mistake people made with all those "tells it as it is" vloggers and pundits.

Ah-ha, "Boys just havin' fun"™. Being Australian is not incompatible with impostors' or being a good troll!

Tall poppy syndrome and a HUGE piling spoonful of cultural cringe.
