Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself

Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form weren't used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person wishes he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining

2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form continued is is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person wishes something happened, but it didn't.

3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.

4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach wishes something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do.

With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.
