All good. We all have off days. I wonder if the author was trying to represent the reader who would object to what she's trying to do with the complaints you pointed out. Is she trying to answer those questions by showing that she had similar issues, etc.
It's almost a rite of passage for tech journalists to do the performative cold turkey thing. Meanwhile most of the civil libertarians are all about "if you don't like Facebook, get off of Facebook." I myself have said "our lives would be no worse without Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Netflix." Articles like this point out that the hydra is so multi-headed now that you'll never cut them all off.
