It's basically just a rant. I noticed a few paragraphs in that it was a series of angry statements with no justification offered for any of them, then kept watching and it continued to be exactly the same all the way to the end. Regardless of whether you agree with PG's essay or not, he at least stated the reasons why he believes in each of his points, and sometimes even gave supporting references. This post doesn't bother to give reasons, which means we are unable to judge it by any measure other than comparing the claims it makes to our own preconceptions. (Since it makes a few obviously-false claims, like "PG isn't creating wealth, he's just spending it", and "we should keep people doing busywork instead of automating things", I'm writing the whole thing off. If the author can't be bothered to argue their case, I don't see a reason why I should either.)
