To be honest, HN is full of this stuff too
Agreed, and some of it (as you mention) is quite ingeniously marketed as well, e.g. pushing a load of free content that occasionally suggests using a certain SaaS app as part of the success strategy.
It just feels like people spend more time selling their systems than they do using them. It looks like 'snake oil'.
I'm not sure that it's always snake oil exactly, more that it's simply easier for these people to make their money training others, especially compared to making money with the systems they're pushing.
