It really kinda sounds like this guy woke up one day, decided he didn't like technology, and began a crusade. I'm struggling to find anything novel in what's being argued unless you didn't already know that the incentives are not stacked in your favor as a user. The interview does make one good point: who does say what is best for me as a user and why is time spent on a given platform a bad metric (even if it's not originally born of a user-centric mindset--which is also arguable since many product teams are user-centric)? Perhaps I'm enjoying that time.
