I think he means AirBnB...

  Why is parent being downvoted? PG says "material for linkbait" not "the author of linkbait": it's a mildly obtuse compliment for AirBnB. The grandparent misreads this, and someone helps him understand better, and gets slammed for it? C'mon, people.

    Barmstrong was making a legitimate comment about troll tech journalists, in a legitimate place (i.e. following its mention), which Projectileboy seems to have grossly misinterpreted. Both PG's comment and Barmstrong's make sense and flow to me; the "yep" signifying agreement with the AirBnB complement before extending commentary on the linkbait aspect: an addendum if you will. I don't see why, or how, Barmstrong's reply to PG would be read in the manner Projectileboy objects to - perhaps the dash could lead to such a reading but it's fairly difficult to arrive at.

      Holy cow, guys... I just thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the commenter had missed the connection to AirBnB. Not a big deal.
