I don't think he's being up-front - the phrase "As a for-profit organization" refers to AdBlock Plus and the insinuation that ABP is trying to monetize blocking WebSockets in contrast to the user's preferences, not to the author's organization.
(Or maybe I'm just missing the sarcasm in your comment)
No sarcasm, I misread the statement (though to be fair, it was his grammatical error). I wonder why he even chimed in? Before his comment in August, the thread was inactive for 1.5 months (and the bug report was unfilled for 4 years).
Also interested in how a user in the thread knew that he worked for Mindgeek...if I'm reading this right [0], this Websockets thread was his first message.
