You could substitute basically any group for "highly creative people" and the article would still be the same. Like if you substituted "power twitter users" this would be ready for Mashable. You could also write an equally namedrop-filled article from the opposite perspective touting the benefits of abstinence. Clearly the creativebait worked though. Sigh.
I think it is more about the word "vice" than creative people mimicry. Something probably doesn't deserve such a strong word if it doesn't preclude success, and in some cases encourages it.
Completely agree. Public opinion seems to be so easily polarized (a feedback effect?) it is pleasant to read something that comes off as a casual defense to it
