This writer seems like a proper neck beard. I 100% agree with most of what they say, but this feels like it's straight out of 4channEdit: I read a few other articles of his and watch a few of his videos/interviews. This article is an extreme side of him apparently. I still think he is extremely socially awkward, he can't hold eye contact for longer than a millisecond and struggles to answer questions in less than twenty words.
I do fully agree with almost everything I've heard him say. I just don't like the way he says it.

He does a lot of work as special advisor for EFF and also know for the invention of the word Enshittification
He's very anti-DRM, so much that he doesn't sell his books on Amazon, because they refuse to sell them DRM free
He's always worth a listen, for instance on This week in tech

Yeah, I'd rather not if he talks like he writes. Again, I am fully on board with his message, but he writes like someone who doesn't know how to have a conversation with another person.
-
He has an interesting blogging format as he automatically splits his posts and shares them on microblogging instances. That explains the weird staccato prose.
-
I'd probably write in a staccato style as well, if I was blogging from a high altitude balloon.

He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn't call him a neckbeard.
I met him once. Very nice guy.

Cory doctorow is a god damn national treasure

He might be, but I still get unpleasant vibes from how he writes.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon

He is the nerdiest nerd ever. That's why he's long seen what is going on and has been trying to save us.

So what? Software freedom is more of a meritocracy than most things (but not entirely). They had Richard freaking Stallman who eats his toenails while giving lectures.
