This question is asked often, and the answer is always that it depends on who your audience is. Channels that work for one person might fail for you, and vice versa. Every product solves a different problem, which means different people who seek out information from different places.
Step 1 is to understand who those people are for your product, and figure out which information sources they trust. As implied above, almost nobody trusts online ads.
If you want to quote an essay, then write a blog post and quote the essay. Linking to the reference material, putting in the wrong title, and then commenting about the one sentence you wanted to discuss is not only unclear, it is against the submission guidelines.

IANAL. But I think reverse engineering their data structure, identifying a security measure - even one as weak as obfuscation, and publishing code to circumvent it is clearly against your license.
I am also NAL, but out of curiosity does OPs post detailing the obfuscation transgress any laws?
If the security measures exist in plain sight, as they apparently do, are they allowed to be discussed?
I reckon that if OP posts the encoder/decoder software that'd be against some sort of license clause. However in the age of AI who cares about the software at this point? Anyone can prompt their own private version into existence.
Just thinking out loud here. I have not considered AIs use as personal "cheat engines".
eventually you lose most of your friends, your neuroplasticity dies down, you stop trying to look cool, fall out of the zeitgeist, and whatever strange things the kids are saying these days becomes annoying because you've stopped participating in culture and it starts to scare and confuse you
I check a lot of those boxes, Abe Simpsons said it best [0], but I get to keep a weather eye on the new lingo through my kids. I remember being a teen and a lot of jibba-jabba that followed, stuff that came up from my people didn't stick, but I can catch up with them and drop a phrase and we all have a laugh.

I dabble in art - maybe more than dabble. I have a degree in Fine Arts / Art History, and have been creating art for a few decades. But I don't do it professionally.
With that context in mind, my take on this is that it might help people who don't appreciate art take one step in that direction because you've added more to the experience. Not bad, but not really what drives appreciation either.
I've found that what really makes people appreciate it is connecting it to the people behind it. When they see a work in the context of an artist's life, or the history of the time it was created, and understand it beyond just "look at this picture" and more of "Look at this person, their experience, their feelings, their problems and their joys, and see how they expressed all of that through art." Even if the art was a hired commission, which was historically common, just as it is today, the story of "I practiced a craft and got hired to do this" is still a story.
That really is what it boils down to - story telling. Tell a story, get appreciation. Fail to tell a story, get people who glace at it and respond, "OK. cool. Anyhoo."
A good answer for people who don't appreciate art, but you and I know it misses the point. Anyone who stops to think knows that the artist wasn't trying to rely on an explanatory label added by a gallery or a web site, they wanted the work to speak for itself or not at all.
We should be encouraging people to enjoy work for what it is, and if they don't see the point of it, to move on.
wat. I didn't lie about my perspective. If you disagree, by all means, share your thoughts. But that statement puts a really odd spin on your response.
Sorry, given your background I thought you might take my point. Didn't mean to accuse you of anything other than being kind. I know people tend to feel inadequate about art unnecessarily.
