So no one is allowed to share their own content according to you?

If anything, your comments are spam in that they aren't on topic.

Well, why would a consumer submit themselves to such a system when they can run their appliances directly?

Additionally, that pricing mechanism doesn't work for reasons outlined in the article, it will actually concentrate energy consumption when consumers delegate activation of devices to a controller that automatically starts it at the moment of lowest cost.

Furthermore, when devices like electric vehicles become even more prevalent, we need some kind of balancing mechanism because of grid capacity, and traditional pricing is not it.

How is this spam exactly?

For sure, that sounds very doable, though there are still some hurdles, like why would a consumer partake in that scheme? There has to be some reward for offering flexible consumption of energy for grid stability. There also needs to be a controller/arbiter that does the scheduling.

Hey, I'm the author of the blog. I agree with your criticisms - I originally designed the website for dark mode users and hadn't really revisited the styling afterwards. I'll be doing some tweaking to increase readability.
