Yep it's just an ad disguised as an article. Lot of them on the internet trying to help user with basics windows things, then they suggest their app as a better alternative.

Eh, it's not disguised as anything, it's content marketing. Lago the API billing solution is not suggesting their product as a better alternative to ChatGPT.

Is the member who posted related in any way to Lago?

    I went looking for their team on the About Us page and instead found this: > 10x top of HN > Billing remains a major issue for companies, resonating widely. We've consistently hit HackerNews' top page over 10x. [1] [1] https://www.getlago.com/about-us https://www.getlago.com/about-us

      To be fair, their ability to target HN is very good. I'm always impressed with their marketing. They put a good title that resonates with HN while the original title is something else for SEO.

      Good thing that I flagged the post then (and sad thing that not enough people did for it to appear flagged)

While it's clearly content marketing aimed at the hype of DeepSeek, it only mentions Lago in a single sentence. It's just an article that is aimed to get you to hear about Lago, star their GitHub repository and eventually talk about the "open source" billing tool you heard about called Lago. (I put Open Source in quotes because I think it's open source version is just Freeware with most features being Call To Action to a paid version. Fair disclosure I have https://github.com/billabear/billabear https://github.com/billabear/billabear which is a competitor)

Most articles are simply ads. Attention economy.
