This article rests on one third party source only, a promotional interview--in the New York Times in 2019. I was quite surprised to see it. Read it, the reporter says hardly anything and contributes essentially nothing, while the subject says what she thinks about her own company,
I knew the NYT did and continues to do promotional coverage in style and fashion, but those are fields where there's a rather thin line between real promotional and real journalism. This is business, where there's a sharp separation, and they are on the wrong side of it. DGG ( talk ) 00:26, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
