Nah, there's selling the dream of quitting the 9-to-5, financial independence, control over one's own time. That is what this is all about. It's on a totally different level than selling the dream of, I don't know, running a marathon (by selling you a running shoe) or stopping the flow of your period with a tampon. These are actual useful products.

IMHO, selling the dream of quitting the rat race is financially extremely lucrative – and a somewhat cheap shot.
