Might as well also mention this

"...and her message. And you’re hurting the presenter, since the message you’re sending to them."

'Her' then 'them'? I feel like whenever people put "her" when it's not defined, they are actually pausing or backtracking to purposefully place 'her' where they'd normally place 'his'. Much simpler would be 'the' or 'their', in this case.

Hi, author of the post here. You're right, that's just a dumb mistake I should have caught in proofreading. I've edited to make it consistent.

Thanks!
