I came here just to post the same comment. I hate to be negative because this site seems very interesting and I love the content, but what I would say is that I don't think there is any need to embellish the numbers for the audience this content will attract. I would have read the article had it said $300/month or $900/month all the same, except now I trust the overall site less than I would have had it been honest.
Thanks for questioning the honesty of the site. Your comment is truly productive and, sadly, at home against all the jaded (and envious) comments here on HN.
