I can attest that it is indeed the 'scummy side of the internet'.

I'm developing a real online business in Medellin (mentioned in the article as one place becoming popular) - and have run across a bunch of Timothy Ferriss groupies that spend their days perfecting the art of SEO, for businesses that they fully know bring in cero value to society.

They consider the internet a fool's playground, and their mission seems to be that of profitting from its fools.

"They consider the internet a fool's playground"

It may be, in the most darwinian sense. In the same sense that warlords justify genocides.
