More than that being a self-proclaimed "hustler" also feels sleazy. It's sort of like combining an "idea" guy with somebody whose only goal is to sell the product, not to add quality or make something cool.
This is just what I associate with the word "hustler" and not a reflection on the article, on which I have no comment at the moment.

The term came from people who use deception to lure people into making bad bets, after all.
