Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Editors do massive rewrite, adding approximately 16% more chill.

Author asks for name to be removed from new, more chill article, magazine politely declines.

At an impasse about byline, author and magazine decide to just pull the article.

Rich, powerful Hollywood guy now enjoying results of Streisand Effect.
