Agree with all of them except the work in progress thing, but the rest are really pretty much just good net/social etiquette anyway.

40% of this could basically be a guide how to not be a hooligan on the net, by avoiding
Being a bigot on social media
Being associated with un-PC social media pages
Pestering and harassment
Fighting

You know, the volleyball scene in Top Gun did make me feel confused and angry. I also dont care, and im going to post about it online anyway.
Where to start. The angry; That court doesnt look regulation. They never specify if theyre playing street rules either. Slider yells wha-ooooooooh when the moment clearly called for a ye-aaaaaaaah. They ended it even! They never finished the match in a sequel.
The confused; Theres a guy sitting on the side with a red hat. The area is empty next to him, but at the end of the match when Maverick is putting on his shirt, theres boots next to the guy but no new people! Whos boots are they? Do they symbolize something much deeper? I feel im missing out on the whole movie without knowing. Its like learning about Marsellus Wallaces bandaide in pulp fiction. Small object, big plot.
So yeah. I dont know about that article. I think its a conspiracy to stifle conversations reguarding the said volleyball scene, so we, as humanity, take longer to fully grasp the full context of the ye-aaaaaaaah, the tie, the magical boots. Im confused and angry all over again.

I keep quiet about politics, but I sometimes go off about how I hate originality and creativity. If I'm ever famous, we'll see what that gets me.

Before agreeing or disagreeing ANY of these points we should spend few seconds thinking what the header really means (or is supposed to mean): "worst" in which way? For your career?
I don't think you find any pos.correlation between not beeing succesful artist and the bad behaviour. On the contrary: many of the most succesful have been real bastards (according to conventional norms). Of course this doesn't mean that if you behave badly, you are a star (unfortunately there are many wanna-bees who think in that wat).
Its 98 % about how talented you are. 2 % is luck.
You "online behaviour" doesn't predict anything.
The only point I find to have affect to your career of the 10 listed is number 5: Wasting time:
"Given that you're reading this, you already know how big a problem wasting time on the internet is for the modern musician. Did you know that, in the developed world, the average adult spends approximately eight hours browsing pictures of fat baby animals every day?
We all wish this could be more, but unless you use your computer for something boring like making music occasionally, there's no justification for having a top of the range MacBook Pro to ogle capybaras on."

I don't know. Am I supposed to give a serious answer, or attempt at being funny?
For one thing, it's a bit canned. I mean, the net is full of off-topic/controversial stuff. Particularly by "stars"
Tell me, which overly idiotic musician (other than hank williams jr) has put his/her foot in their mouth and not made mad cash? Oh wait, he has too
My opinion is worth less than a wooden nickel, but this almost looks like propaganda/trolling on their behalf. I'd love to live in a world that is a wonderful place......not in my lifetime.
And agree with the first answer, partials are fine. Some people are too aggressive with redoing and such, but mostly it's just people trying to get a take on what they are doing.

Too harsh?
But is it wrong? I mean, how many musicians (here or "real" ones) are not dicks? 5%? If your music is killer, it just doesn't matter. Some people actually can get popular w/o being any good, but that is a splinter of the very VERY low percentage of musicians (regardless of genre) that actually end up being something.
Magazines/reporters are just "trolling" for attention. They've written about everything else
