Yes, it's called a 'puff piece'.
Given this is an entrepreneurial-leaning community, maybe we should be congratulating Yondr for securing the coverage rather than criticizing them and the NYT. Marketing is a necessary part of any successful endeavor.

- dang 10y agoPlease don't make dissing generalizations about the community as a rhetorical device. We've noticed that it's reliably a marker of bad comments. People usually make such generalizations to put down those on the other side of an argument and give themselves a higher status by implication. That may be good for making others look bad, but it's not good for the thoughtful discussion we hope for here.
