I don't think the author has the slight idea what does the word 'feudalism' mean. If anything the current Internet where users build themselves on big corporations' domains and get their data sucked for profit is much more akin of feudalism than the internet of old.
Nobody seems to know what feudalism is these days with all of the idiots being taken at face value. Feudalism is about a system of allegiances and obligations that supported personal power. The Wagner Group attempted coup is far more feudalist than any of the first world problems in tech.
