"Hype" is a common way for "modern" companies to drive up share price, see TSLA for a good example of that. Greenwashing is another, not as common approach.

It is really fun (sad) to see this, I've seen it so many times myself too. You show how something would be with s-expressions, compared to something, and all they can focus on is how many parenthesis there are. But when you sit down an
