If we're being totally honest, the same can be said of most media.
A book like the graysonian ethic will never be a huge seller because it is the heartfelt lessons of father is trying to pass down to his son, whereas a thousand other books will be trying to press people's buttons in order to get them to read all about the latest crisis in whatever.
And people might mistakenly say that it's about capitalism, but in reality it's just about human nature. I'm sure that everyone who writes a story for fastcompany or the conversation hopes that they end up writing an incredibly popular article that lots of people read, not because they're going to get any more ad revenue out of it but because they want to be an influential author who wrote an important article. And the way to do that is to follow the trends, which at the moment tends towards the inflammatory.
