Are you always this cynical? The article is interesting on its own merits, that the author is also selling the app (outright, I might add, not subscription-based!) is neither here nor there

You'd think so, but there's always people complainers that something is an ad. It just happened to be my turn. Mostly because the type of person who would complain that something is an ad and raise a fuss wouldn't complain about this one, and was feeling like pointing out that hypocrisy. Unfortunately I didn't strike the exact right tone for the peanut gallery. Maybe I'll have better luck next time!

"Unfortunately I didn't strike the exact right tone for the peanut gallery"

Right tone depends on site. "Smug + cynical" could be a great fit on X or Reddit, but HN isn't really built around this sort of discourse.

		I can't tell if this comment is actually serious. This place is often smugger and more cynical than Reddit, which says a lot.
