    Being named "Guy Lodge" and looking like he does in his picture is like a Felix bit.

    Also, I found his twitter, and he's as insufferable as you'd expect. A lot of posting screenshots of people pointing out how shit his article is with "I'm totally not owned, you're the one owned because you're telling me I'm a shitty writer." https://twitter.com/GuyLodge?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

        I'm in the process of being hired by a large, content farm-esque site to do freelance movie review writing, and the pay is super shit (literally $30 for a 1-2k word article, but hey, it's something and will look good on my resume I guess) and knowing that this hack probably makes like 20-30x or more than that for the shit he puts out... ouch.

        I always mentally substitute the word "unemployed" for "freelancer" whenever I see it.
