Because the two guys involved in this are "social media" expert and a "self improvement coach." Did you read the post? It says things like "you can use UDP but you'll have to adjust your server to use UDP."

This submission was a blatant attempt to boost his blog and in turn his product's website; the whole thing looks to me like a scam.

The other items on the blog are clear keyword-of-the-day click-chasing and this is obviously ChatGPT output: https://khalsalabs.com/the-essence-of-paul-graham-essay-on-h...

One of the authors seems to enjoy using ChatGPT to respond to questions on Quora to spam links to his shitty blog site about dogs. Or this:

The other guy has a lot of "look at my expensive stuff" and "the secret to success!" videos (and some videos about using AI to make videos...)

The company's website is a joke. Hilariously bad attempts at SEO in the title, the ad copy is littered with grammar mistakes, and so on. "Best canadian dog tracker"...what?
