As much as that writing style is rather unique and interesting, it is dreadfully difficult to follow. There's a verbosity to it that would make me think the person who wrote it sat in front of a thesaurus looking for the exact word to replace what they originally wrote about fifteen times per sentence if I didn't already know eccentric people like this who exist in real life and pride themselves in their ability to use the absolute 'best' word to represent their thoughts at any one moment, ignoring the fact that many people will not be able to follow for lack of ever hearing, let alone understanding what the word means. With that being said, I did very much enjoy the imagery the writer was able to conjure on the subject of enshittification and the general state of affairs of the average tech bro.

Unique and interesting? I get budget Hunter S. Thompson vibes.

I settled in for "oh, it's this kind of pretentious writing" from the lede and was not disappointed. But then, I can end up there in my own writing sometimes if I'm really piqued about the topic.

And that's why it takes me five times longer to edit any of my comments lengthier than some snarky quip than it does to type them out.
