In case the author shows up here -- I clicked through to the next post (https://bsid.io/posts/2019/03/my-experiment-with-honesty/) which describes what I think is the author getting ripped off and having their work stolen by another individual. If you're reading this, author: you should publicly shame that individual, or outright sue them if you have the resources. In particular you should contact their employer or advisers and let them know that the paper they published is your work, not theirs.
