A little superfluous. Couldn't we just assume that any blog post about any topic "might be intended to trigger or influence a wanted market behavior"? A news article critical of Amazon warehouse management could also be seen the exact same way.

That's absolutely true and every post can have a hidden agenda. However and in particular in this field hidden agendas are more common or let's call it pump and dump schemes. Cause and effect are so much closer together than in other fields, e.g. when I post how great Ruby is I cannot expect that the next day 10K new devs learn again Ruby haha and even if, I won't make any money over night. Maybe my Ruby course business (just an example, I don't have one haha) would get few more subscriptions but yeah.
