They author may not be able to control the social media embeds of this particular site, but they certainly have control over where the choose to publish. I see nothing wrong with taking them to task for this sort of hypocrisy.
- jacquesm 6y agoNo, they don't always have that control. Maybe in this case they do, maybe they don't. But your typical author is in someone's pay. And they probably don't have the pick of where to publish besides the bulk of the places where you can work and write articles that reach a sizeable audience will have this kind of environment. Anyway, seeing the same comment over and over again reduces its value. It was a cool observation the first time, boring the second, redundant after that.
- renewiltord 6y agoThere is no value in calling out hypocrisy. If a murderer outs another murderer now you know about two murderers. Saying "you're a murderer too, you hypocrite" has no epistemological value.
