TL;DR: the same tired points you've read a million times already

"It might be slop but at least it's human slop!" - would the author argue in turn, probably:

> People used to argue online, flame each other, get angry. And that wasn’t good, but at least it was human. [0]

Another perspective though could be that one's thoughts were never meant to be guaranteed high-entropy curio for others to encounter, so they're really under no obligation to be found "original", if that even means anything. [1] And sure, that is true.

Just also not any more true than the former.

[0] emphasis theirs, I don't even need to mock it like this; the secondhand embarrassment comes built-in

[1] this is to say, these may be genuinely candid and original thoughts from the author, that simply happen to coincide with the many thoughts already expressed in this genre of writing
