Let's put snarkiness to one side - the article was shit. You know it, I know it, and everyone else knows it. Poorly written, with the same dumb thoughts - and I use the term loosely - I can get from any spoiled sophmore at any university in the western world.
The only reason it got any traction was a clickbait title about a hot topic. So I feel perfectly OK about shitting all over it. If you don't, flag me. It's the internet, it really doesn't matter.
