Only insofar as it's "kinda weird" to run a service where you notice interesting new things that happen in the world, and then write professional, mostly-reliable words about them, to share with your general audience.

In past centuries, this was a fairly common business model, but I understand the concept sounds pretty jarring to modern ears.
