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.
