I agree with the general idea that the Semantic Web was a bad idea and
is now dead but this article has also its own problems, ranging from
the personal crusade of the author against XML (which is unrelated to
the Semantic Web, which was always more abstract than a given data
format) to frank mistakes like "To host your own website, you need to
buy a domain name from ICANN".
