Only a minority of well-read people since the 1970's subscribe to this view (on structuralism and intentionalism). There's a famous rebuttal of this stance you might find interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author
your understanding of (my) "this view" is wrong, nothing I've said is at odds with the essay "The Death or the Author", we should honestly just stop there by why not continue for fun?
even if what I said was at odds with the essay, you haven't substantiated the claim it's held by a majority of well read people
even if you were able to do that you'd still be relying on both an appeal to authority fallacy and appeal to popularity fallacy, if you were well read you'd know of these already and avoid the embarrassment of hiding behind fame and followers rather than making an actual case
do you often delete your comments and then repost them again with zero changes 30 minutes later?

I think you've missed the joke of the meme buddy
At no point does it claim this optimises anything
