> And this is how you do SEO-oriented content marketing, kids.

And this in turn, kids, is how you assume bad faith without any reservation or doubt.

Having watched the news for a while, primarily on HN and Slashdot, I've seen enough tracking, leaks, sell-outs, adware incidents, dirty marketing, astroturf campaigns, compromised software, etc. to not expect some degree of bad faith. Perhaps not this time, but it is totally reasonable to question everything.

Who said anything about this being written in bad faith?

It's a really well executed example of content marketing. Whether it was intentional is a separate question, but the post is really quite shallow in technical terms and it exagerrates things here and there, so - yeah, it does look like something written primarily for promo reasons.

Sure. There's nothing wrong with promotional material, nor is there anything wrong with calling a spade a spade.

To be fair, though, your original comment did come across as negative — was it supposed to?
