Yes, I am aware. I read about that yesterday, and yes, I did read it again at the bottom of this piece. It was really bad.
Which is presumably why, a couple of paragraphs above, they explain that:
Here's the thing, it shouldn't take somebody calling you out on it on the Internet and engaging in a defensive back-and-forth driven by pride for you to actually read the thing. Commenting should be secondary to following the link and figuring out what's actually happening. But it's not. That is the part that pisses me off. Not the stupid feature that is still bad even without glaring security holes. Only partially the stupid rooting for commerical products like they're football teams. Fundamentally that our consumption patterns when it comes to information are broken and we think it only affects everybody else but not us.
That part is terrifying and infuriating.
