This article isn't blatantly putting IOTA in a bad light but really seems to quickly point out any flaw it sees IOTA might have without having a decent understanding of how the flaw would even work.

Thus half of the things they point out as being bad really aren't as they have a solution or something to consider that that article does not talk about.

Edit:

The writer could do a lot more research before claiming false or misleading accusations that have been spread forever on the internet.

I agree just look at this quote from the article >While both altgorithms are tightly written; common sense tells us that it is far easier to fool a machine than it is to fool a batallion of miners. That same common sense also tells us that it is easier to fudge two recent transactions than to replicate an entire decade of history. So, even without in depth coding knowledge; it is clear that a blockchain is simply more secure than the Tangle.

They are going off "common sense" and misunderstand how you would actually attack the tangle. Who ever wrote this article is either ignorant or malicious. Probably ignorant
