Some quick thoughts from me.
I, too, find the Facebook/Medium discussion reroute unfortunate (I'm not even on Facebook), though it might help attract some more newcomers. I'm sure we can find a suitable place to discuss this on-wiki, and there should be an appropriate link for that.
As for the actual topic of the interview, I am glad to see an outside opinion from someone who has experience with large, community-driven media repositories. I might not agree with all the sentiments, and structured data and out Next Big Thing did not exactly feature prominently, but I find it refreshing to leave the echo chamber once in a while.
Cheers, Magnus

It is antithetical to the principles of most of our participants. I’m profoundly disappointed that a discussion on Facebook would be promoted by the office of GLAM and Structured Data, Wikimedia Foundation.
Best wishes, Walter

I too dislike the idea of having to pay to contribute to a discussion about Wikimedia Commons. I also see some irony in advice from a platform that being generous can be described as having lost its way many years ago, yes we can learn from the mistakes of others. As others have said collectively we are capable of amazing things, we are doing something special as we look forward we mustn't lose sight what our purpose is and our goals are.
Dont forget https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data will have impact so much of what is spoken about wont be relevant

Medium, where you can leave comments:
It's truly terrible if we're now outsourcing comments to an external proprietary platform.
Totally agree with both of you, Federico and Fae.
I don't understand the outsourcing of comments nor the promotion from the Wikimedia Foundation of services as Facebook.
