Or also that this is a paid service that's priced at several hundred dollars (billed annually! if you're cool enough to be "selected"!).

I don't think there's anything wrong in general with charging people for something you provide. I support that part.

I just think it's good to be clear about your relationship with the thing you're advertising.

It's the combination of two things: saying that some solution is "so fucking worth" as if you're evaluating it impartially, and then also failing to mention that it costs a surprising amount of money.

The opposite would have been to say "I think I can solve this for you for $50 a month."
