There should be a name for this kind of article, this sort of know-it-all hectoring that occurs in so much media now. It goes well beyond the technical fields - think of how many parenting, cooking, and athletics blogs and articles hasten to inform you “you’re doing it wrong.”

No doubt this phenomenon successfully plucks at some emotional vulnerability most of us have, and thus brings in the clicks.

edit: I also disagree with most of the points this article makes, but that’s just, like, my opinion, man.
