If we're pulling comment histories, you have quite a few comments linking to interviewing.io which is affiliated with one of the book's authors (Aline Lerner). Coincidentally, you've also posted pretty glowingly about this book. Do you have any connections to the authors that might be compromising your objectivity?

If it helps, I (Mike) don't know who @stmw is. I can at least say they aren't one of the four authors of this book.

That said, I don't think the reasonable conclusion to come to when someone is supportive of a product is that they are invested in it. Sure, suspicion is a healthy thing, but for the record you can look through my comment history and see I recommend LeetCode and a coding book called EPI. No compromising connections—I just like the products and let people know about them when I see people talking about the topics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
