I thought he did mention them - PeoplesHost? Or is that a fictitious name?

- jwatte 10y agoI think the comment was a sly way of insinuating that the original blog post may or may not be 100% authentic.
- 3131s 10y agoI also wondered whether the blog post might be native advertising.
- jbsimpson 10y agoCan you tell me how I can get people to pay me to write articles on my personal blog? So far I've mainly written about my interests in machine learning and science, but as a graduate researcher an extra source of income would be great /s
- 3131s 10y agoI should have clarified that I looked around your blog and based on the other in-depth content there, I figured it was a genuine post. It was just that my first impression was that this might be native advertising -- which says more about how the rest of the internet is nowaways as opposed to anything about your writing style or blog content.
- jbsimpson 10y agoOh I see, that's probably fair enough - I did toy with the idea of leaving a message at the end clarifying that I had received no money for writing it, but ended up leaving it out. I didn't edit the names out when they were mentioned in the email but I did try to avoid gratuitous references to them in my main content.
- a13n 10y agoYep, PeoplesHost and JustHost are real companies. They kinda sound made up though :P
