Timing. Saying common sense stuff before others gives you an edge and being the first to say it with any eloquence, in a way people want to listen and are accepting of what's being said. A lot of what Cory Doctorow says can be hard to hear or hard to deliver without sounding condescending like NDT. His talent is in the delivery.

He also has a ton of experience in this space, he's worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation for almost 25 years. On top of that, he's whip-smart and enjoyable to read or listen to
