I did enjoy this article!

Also, after an evening thinking about it, I agree the outing of Elena Ferrante was a bad thing to do.

it’s basically about how easy it is to get (fleeting) recognition for something that you had basically no creative input on - he uses the ‘fat jewish’ instagram account as an example of ‘copypasta’ - people getting credit for just copying and pasting stuff and ‘news’ outlets doing the same thing and re-running the same story until it gets out of hand.

the stuff about how great he is is mostly taking the piss.
