So, the author is surprised that a private business doesn't let him use their free platform to promote their competition at the same time that they trash them... The level of delusion and entitlement of some people is simply to hard to

I see your point, but the opposite is just as bad or worse. The idea that studding for years has no merit and that the opinion of a professional with 10 or 20 years in a field (20.000 hours - 40.000 hours) has the same value of the opinion
