Not a comment on the content, but I found that article very hard to read. As in, poorly written with no central thread for the reader to travel along. It felt more like a series of paragraphs standing in isolation than a cohesive opinion piece.

I read a few articles written by the author and the style is consistent. It seems to be written how she would talk: It almost reads like a script and not an article.

Of course, it's just a theory. Here is a paragraph where I would probably add a ton of vocal inflections:

Equally as obvious, or it should be, is that Suh’s feelings about the comedian have changed. The same can be said about many who once considered themselves part of the comic’s fanbase and others who still do. His supporters seem more entrenched in their allegiance to C.K. than ever out of a respect for comedy itself, free speech or taking a stand against the #MeToo movement or whatever concept of political correctness exists.

I would rarely write a sentence like this, but I would probably speak it:
