The author appears to forcefully prove his theory about reddit in order to sell a website he's an advisor at. I wish the disclaimer was at the top of the text.

  That's not really fair. If you bother you click into the website he is an advisor at and see it is an app for finding and investing in new companies, you will see it has nothing to do with this article. It is literally just the footer at the bottom of all his articles.

    His product is one of the suggested alternatives

    It's literally putting 2 and 2 together. The article is about how to start new companies based off reddit communities, and he's an advisor for an app for finding and investing in new companies. This is nothing more than a marketing piece trying to boost their funnel

      While it is a marketing piece trying to boost their funnel, it does provide value for HN readers too.

        I skimmed through it and I wasn't convinced by his idea (I think he thinks if he says it long enough it will come true), so it did not provide value to me.
