You think this one was clever, take a closer look at the next couple of posts that blow up here having to do with HN’s favorite category of “privacy hysteria.” One thing you learn when you start your own side projects, everything on the internet is content marketing. Everything. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing since it aligns incentives. Expecting people to produce great content for you for free makes no sense. In this instance however, the post is obviously made up and the product this guy is hawking is a scam. I wouldn't have a problem with the self promotion if he provided real value, but he didn’t.
