I am! but Chiselstrike doesn't sell a message queue, so still don't understand how I'm selling one.
It's an abstraction over a message queue, which is only one feature among many.
But btw, as a pointy-haired dude I am becoming (although I am bald), if someone really wants to buy a message queue from me, I'll happily sell it!

In order to sell an "abstraction over a message queue" you have to have a message queue under that abstraction, right?
I don't think there is anything wrong with your article, you are quite up front about what you are selling, so personally it is no big deal.

I mean, they're selling something. According to the TFA, it's an abstraction that may or may not use a backend message queue, but your app shouldn't care. So they're not selling a message queue, but they're selling something.

Sure am, but chiselstrike is OSS as well.
So no different than any OSS project with a monetization strategy.

But what's the issue with making a post and discussing how a product one made solves an issue? GPT-3 and DALL-E are both products with a pay-per-play model. So is AWS and S3. We talk about those things all the time with no scrutiny or suspicion.
I don't get it but there's a good chunk of people who are ready to jump on anything that looks even slightly comercial by even one single aspect. I've been told my personal blog was AI generated blog spam once in the past when I had literally nothing to sell. I also don't understand the fundamental issue with having a commercial involvement as long as you aren't trying to BS people or shove advertising down their throats.
