The first 7-8 paragraphs are about the author (Hint: I don't care.), the next few are a technical description. As a "normie" I'm not reading 15 paragraphs in to see how it can help me

As a consumer, what benefit does it provide to me? "Normies" are going to bounce way before they see what the answer is. Drop the derogatory term and tell me how this helps me from the start.

It is weird. I had a similar reaction. My immediate focus was on the use of the word 'normies' as opposed to the original subject of that post. I wonder if the author shot him/herself in the foot by using such language.

The project also already shot itself in the foot on arrival, due to the creator's other work. (He's one of the most prominent modern far-right philosophers/writers. Among other things, known for staunchly criticizing democracy and advocating for monarchism and authoritarianism as a better system.)

For someone as controversial a personality as the author is, he would be wise not to talk about himself alongside the technology.

I don't recognize Erik Newton and a quick web search didn't turn up much. What is this controversy you're talking about?
