I get what you're trying to say in the article, but I think the real confusion lies in that why would you do it like this. Why assign assign the axios reference to responseDigimon at the top of your function block, but use it much farther down? IMO, the const should be grouped with the await so the related logic is together. I'd also much rather break these up into separate functions so you don't get blocking code, but I guess that's another story.
I've written down this article because I have seen this type of mistakes numerous time. Imagine a case where you call 5-6 responses with await without really using some of them just to be sure that async call will be in his/her sight so it can be referable some other time. Can you imagine the performance of the app? By the way, as you pointed it out it is really nonsense to call response at the top to use so much later in your code.
Agreed, you should only call the endpoint when you need it. I think some readers just found confusion where one const used an await, but the other didn't and then it was never shown how it was meant to be used later in the code. That's all :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
