Yes this is clickbait to get him traffic. This is Viperchill, very skilled writer and smart guy who unfortunately makes a living from "get rich by teaching others how to get rich" schemes. There's a grain of truth in everything he says but it's all greatly exaggerated in order to wow the less educated and later sell them something for a profit.

Just type Viperchill into google and watch the suggestions.

It's a sad day to see him polluting HN with his "work".

As the audience here is way smarter than his average followers I hope people with see through his schemes and do not promote him.

Disclaimer: I've outed him in the past.

I liked his blog post and thought it was interesting. I didn't see anything obviously bad in it, I just saw an SEO-type telling a story and promoting themselves through it.

I don't know what he has done in the past but I think you are being harsh.

Hey friend, good point. There's a unique and rare opportunity I'd like to talk to you about involving a bridge in Brooklyn...

In all seriousness, this fellow is a fancy bottom feeder. It's not that there's no value in his products (and ad copy, which is what that "blog post" actually was..) its that he is not SCORE! (https://www.score.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCORE_Association)

He's not "bad" compared to a Ponzi scheme, but he's obviously venal compared to the Service Corps of Retired Executives.
