Surely the leading anecdote is contrived? Am I too cynical?

Yeah, I stopped reading there, because I see that kind of contrived pablum on LinkedIn constantly. Heart-warming folksy anecdote ... business lesson etc. That, the *bold* and the cartoon are flags.

I have learned to stop paying attention to "content" based on those cues, much like with ad breaks on TV or youtube. It's mostly not even conscious, I just skip over it.
