Yeah, I’ve caught myself almost falling for marketing BS a few times, before I dug a little deeper to find the actual information I need. I try to make informed decisions, and when companies present ads as information, it can be easy to be misled.

To be fair, the article body doesn’t actually say that anyone is immune. In fact, it lists out how to properly market to this segment.
