Wouldn't that make it easier to scale, since there's more context you can provide?
The context is specific to the recipient of the advice, making it effectively impossible to scale.

the scale is you're reaching a different audience and can provide different context for the same message on top of a different medium.
You're describing the type of impersonal advice that the parent poster said was generally unhelpful for the recipient.
Everything you said sounds great for the person selling advice, but not great for the consumer, which was the point of the original comment.
Totally.
1) Vague advice is much easier to sell and elevate ones position (look at Tony Robbins). There's no negatively correlative impact to the advice so its hard to argue if someone is wrong.
2) Providing concrete advice is impossible to "scale" (e.g. books, podcasts, video, etc) as it requires context.
