The article complains that websites twist themselves out of shape to game search ranking with SEO so they can sell ads. Google doesn't provide transparency on exactly what changes SEO because they don't want rankings gamed.
I dunno what to say. Ads are shitty for consumers. Websites that exist solely to sell ads risk turning into content farms (e.g. bOingbOing).
The listings are at times preposterously detailed, often containing additional names and numbers for people’s emergency contacts, their parents, their siblings, their friends, even their children, all alongside hundreds of car phones, yacht phones, guest houses, and private office lines. Some individuals have dozens of numbers and addresses listed, while others list just a single number and first name. Epstein collected people, and if you ever had any interaction with him or Ghislaine Maxwell, his onetime girlfriend and alleged accomplice, you more than likely ended up in this book, and then several years later you received a call from me.
And
The worst call by far was with a woman who told me she’d been groped by Epstein, an incident she said she didn’t report at the time out of fear of retribution from Epstein. (I have been aggressively counseled to remind the readers of Mother Jones that an appearance in the address book is not evidence of any crime, or of complicity in any crime, or of knowledge of any crime.)
I don't think this is a useful or even remotely valid generalization, most sad lonely horny dudes just jerk off and wish they had a partner, then go on with their day.

This is my thing about people who want there to be more genders available on government forms. I want less genders on government forms. At the most, add a "U" for uknown or "N/A" or possibly even "MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS G-MAN!"
