Yeah the author talks about how on the old internet it was great that you'd just stumble across people on blogs\rss, mailing lists, and other things you subscribe to. Then just chucks all that to the side and sets up automated ways to force his work in front of people.
The author also forgot that often in th mailing list, rss and such, it’s somewhat expected outside view, similar to a post in th federated media (like this one)
