> No marketing team. $0 marketing spend.

Blogging is marketing too, so this statement in particular is not accurate.

In fact, I would say that this very post was quite convincing and a good marketing — and branding — example.

It made me want to know more about this company and “engage” more with it.

But not written with an intention to market themselves I guess. If merely expressing their true intents works in their favor while not boasting about it, I would not call it marketing.

Nevertheless, it nearly costs $0 to host the site, so even if this is marketing, no spending on it.

They are spending time to host the site, to maintain the domain and to write and review blog posts. This cleary has a cost.
