Is it bad-faith to suggest this was just an advertising piece? I don’t want to be that person, but there seemed to be absolutely nothing interesting or innovative in the technique this father-son team use, and the whole article (and now it’s on the front page of HN) seems like just a vehicle to spread the word about their service?

    The 1% is content that is sold. WSJ, Economist, premium Substacks, etc.
