It’s an interesting article, but I feel two ways about it, as it’s quite clearly an ad for the company.

However, I respect that they don’t hide that.

A lot of articles are really “stealth ads,” masquerading as “news,” so it’s refreshing to see these folks just come out and say it.

It is also genuinely interesting and original subject matter, not just reflected text from another site.

Hello ChrisMarshallNY,

I know the author, thanks for sharing your views. I will share your feedback ahead. I do not think their intention is to advertise Apple because most of their articles are on analysis based on patent data.

I think he meant the article is an ad for GreyB:

Yes, it was an ad for GreyB.

It does look like they have a legitimate BI product. It isn't what I need, but I did appreciate the insight.

Like I said, even though it is an ad, it is one that is actually useful as legitimate information.
