blog looks suspicious

- privacy policy links to marketing company `beehiiv.com`. the blog author doesn't show up there.

- the profile picture url is `.../Generated_Image_March_03__2026_-_1_55PM.jpg.jpeg`

i didn't dig or read further.

And yet it's on the front-page... HN is rabidly descending into actual SEO spam, on par with bought-out game journalism outlets firing everyone to put up a thousand casino ads from non-existent people with fake degrees. Is it the AI bros so desperate for validation of their new methodology they'd take it from a second-rate source?
