Who is the author and what are their credentials? Imho, this article bases a lot of it's logic on if so facto statements about human behavior which could be argued. I got a strong: "The world is either black or white" vibe from it.

I agree that it's content marketing in the sense that I try to write things that others find worthwhile. It's not content marketing in the sense that I whip together a quick listicle. Thanks for your feedback though. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.

I think because people found it interesting enough to upvote. I totally understand where you're coming from. The copy on the pop-up and the apply page is pretty in your face. That being said, hopefully people can judge the essay on its own merits. Sorry to hear you didn't like it!
