The comments from HNers in this case are interesting.
Usually if a teenage hacker builds something, the HNers would respond with enthusiasm, but then, this is a guy who builds *something* and *actually* makes a good business out of it, at the same time maintains his high school life, and all we have is skepticism and discouragement.
It's almost as if people are reading the article and critically evaluating the product.
Fwiw scams can be inspiring too if the sense of humour is evident, and/or the target of the scam are bad faith actors. (E.g.their earlier app "totally science") Blame the reporters for simply saying "it's ironic"?
It is _not_ a good business; the thing does not, and cannot, work.
It's good business, just bad product.
