I am not a native english speaker and it was really difficult for me to read this essay and understand its purpose.
Is this writing style considered "good"?
In my experience, this writing style is indicative of the author speaking to an ongoing conversation where people are writing about the topic in many places.
As a stand-alone essay, this is very bad. As a contribution to a conversation, as you might see in an online forum, this probably makes more sense.
