Object-oriented programming does have some uses (I sometimes find it useful), although it is very overused; some people want to use it much more than it should be. (The article mentions this.) Many modern computers expect you to use object-oriented programming, Unicode, JSON, HTTP, etc, even when you should not use them. They have their uses but that doesn't mean it is good for everything or even for most things.
About wearing masks, I have found harmful in my own experience; among other things, making it difficult to see while wearing glasses, and being difficult to breathe, etc; so I never wore a mask while outside or at a restaurant. Wearing a mask has its uses too but also shouldn't be overused.

Object-orientation and other dumb ideas — Daniel Lemire has posted some great articles and is always interesting to read. Here is his short take on OOP, a stupid idea based on nothing that went so viral that opposing it would cost you your job, your friends, and your reputation. Includes a guide on how to spot these brain viruses as they spread near you. Look around and spot some current idiocies around you, and post your observations here, if you dare!
