In “The privilege of bad writers,” Corey Robin discusses how certain types of bad writers on social media—droners, first-year grad student types obsessed with erudition, and confused word saladists—exhibit a form of privilege by being indifferent to their audience. Unlike thoughtful writers who engage readers as partners in dialogue, these bad writers fail to acknowledge or care about the human on the other end, which Robin identifies as a form of privilege distinct from commonly discussed social privileges.
