Ben Popper Asked the Internet What Could Possibly be Wrong With his Verge Article "Trump and PewDiePie are using the same playbook", Please Respond to Our Buddy Ben With Some Hard Hitting Journalism on Why His Article Could Use Some Work.

Ben Popper wrote an article for The Verge entitled "Trump and PewDiePie are using the same playbook" that got posted to The Verge's Twitter page where lots of people commented on the fact that the article was mostly false. Ben responded shortly after wanting to know what could possibly be wrong with his article, and while he did get a great amount of response in the comments Twitter itself isn't the best platform for providing medium to long form criticism on people's work.

Reddit seems like one of the best platforms for text based internet discussion so my question for you dear viewers of the h3 subreddit is provide Ben with some healthy and respectful criticism on the multitudinous ways his article can be more accurately improved. Ben has asked the internet to provide him with criticism, so please make sure to share this post with friends, colleges, Ben Popper himself or anyone who has feedback so that multiple demographics are able to weigh in on this topic. Love and kisses, can't wait to see all of your lovely comments.

*Also as a side note, Ben Popper seems to have re-tweeted some cherry picked belligerent responses that he's gotten on the article instead of spotlighting actual criticism he's received, and has so far responded by re-tweeting that it's unAmerican to delegitimize the press.

edit- I know the title has improper capitalization, it annoys me too but I can't edit it.
