Perhaps one of the greatest sinners in this regard actively profiting from content that leads to covetousness, jealousy, etc. leading to mental health issues and what not.

I had this thought too, but hey, however the message gets out I'm glad it does. If we spit in the faces of those people, they'll just put up walls and go back to the old ways. I prefer, "welcome friend, today is a new day"

I know, right? I get my tips from Teen Vogue:

(Actually a good article)

Teen Vogue has actually been doing some of the best hard-hitting journalism for the last few years. I'm not even close to ashamed of consuming their content.

Yeah they have. Their political coverage puts more mainstream outlets to shame.

Granted, it would have been powerful if the author had called out (or was allowed to call out) Glamour's hypocrisy on this matter, but I think the fact that they're talking about the topic at all is a step in the right direction.

It is not wise to bite the hand that is currently feeding you. And I don't mean paying the author - I mean running your article. If Vogue will run it, let the reader notice the irony. If you call it out explicitly, Vogue (probably) won't run it. If you actually believe what you're saying, that's kind of counterproductive.
