What he calls "Digital Maoism" is an excellent critique and worth the read. The loss of voice is a substantial problem; the single voice being arbitrated by a for-profit cadre is worse.

I've followed his online works off and on for a while - he had some interesting ideas about coding and adaptive computations about 10+ years ago that I'd like to see followed up on. He seems to specialize in sort of being a public critic now (above interview seems to rehash his usual points well) & advocate for paid everything & DRM.
