They’re not Buffet’s side hustle. They’re Berkshire subsidiaries. It’s more like Microsoft’s website having an ad for an GitHub or LinkedIn on it.

  To be clear I think the weirdnesses is in the pseudo-personal tone of it. This isn’t your uncle trying to sell you on his new business during thanksgiving dinner. This is a billionaire trying to sell low low prices to presumably investors.

    That’s kind of Buffet’s thing. “Value” is a big philosophy of his, in investing and in business strategy, and many of his followers believe the same.

  Or like Google's home page advertising Chrome (which they did early on in its life, which was surely a big factor in how they grew their market share so fast).

No, it is like Microsoft advertising Linkedin on their website. They own it.
