Gleb has been getting responses like this from the very beginning; thousands upon thousands of words have been spilled on the subject. What makes you think your latest 600 are going to change his mind?
I am not intending to be snarky, I am genuinely curious, especially considering the amount of time and effort that has gone into criticism of Gleb’s approach and the relatively limited effectiveness of the combined efforts of so many people in producing behavior change. While I am not a fan of Gleb’s style or approach, the level of effort against him, and success thereof, are undermining my confidence in many of his most vocal critics to achieve their more important stated goals.

Because it’s new to me …? … hmmm no, not “new”...
Because it’s recent. Gleb has been posting more crap than usual lately (or the rest of the content has gotten less … the content to “Gleb crap” ratio has been going down), and I wanted to counter that.
As for effectiveness, I’ll admit I didn’t try to be very persuasive (in that I didn’t think about “what would make him think that he’s doing something wrong”). I seem to have gone for a deconstructive approach—perhaps trying to understand why he does as he does because perhaps I’m missing something.
… and I kinda hope to start a discourse with him.
Though it was more out of emotions than logical thought.
Summarized
Because I think it has become more relevant recently
Because I felt I could try to understand the situation better by writing such a comment
Because I hope to start a dialogue in order to convince Gleb
