Was he really arguing that the art lacks value, though? That's certainly how Rodriguez seems to have received it, but the original review seems to be more making the (obvious) point that the social media channel and performative use thereof is a core element of his work. And that is of interest if it hasn't been the subject of much commentary on Rodriguez' work before. Which it clearly hasn't, given Rodriguez' and his fans' reaction. Which makes Davis' observation that simply repeating press release hype isn't healthy for anyone apt I would think (and let's be honest, it's only Artnet).
