This line is distasteful and detracts from the rest of what you wrote.

Sounds like hyper aggressive salespeople being parodied in a movie. But then again I know some people talk like that in real life.
seems like dry humor :)
What is the joke?
If one has to explain a joke then either they're bad at it, it's a bad joke or they have the wrong audience....I'll leave the conclusion as to which is it to the readers :)

The article is about making money (even from the title)..the commented upon line is insinuating that if you think the article isn't for you (ie you just randomly stumbled upon it), then you obviously are not interested in making money...sarcasm :)

His language is really sloppy and amateur throughout. He also has this bad line, “Everything about a startup is sales”.

No it’s not, unless you’re selling snake oil.

Sounds like you're not interested in making money.
I’m interested in adding value and helping make progress in the world, money is secondary, but I have plenty of money.
It's ok, no one forced you to read it I hope.
