Not an adhom, it's valid to point out to give context to any sideways ideology that might show up. Often times these "discipline, hard world, grind" bloggers are set in a certain ideological context. So pointing that out helps contextualize what you're reading. The idea of "be careful who you take advice from". For example, I would not take advice from someone who believes:

`Impostor syndrome – Pangs of realistic self-reflection in impostors.`

or:

`Harassment (sexual) – Flirting attempts by ugly, short, fat, poor, or otherwise undesirable men.`

or:

`Misogyny – Women who hate men imagining that men hate them back.`

or:

`Planned parenthood – An eugenics programme posing as a human rights campaign`

or: https://www.wisdomination.com/the-breathing-cure-for-depress...

That breathing better is a cure for depression.

People who hold really toxic, and in this case overtly Misogyny beliefs, tend to leak it into the rest of their advice and writings.

Adhom would be attacking them for it to detail the argument. Rather, you're just indicating "this guy has some horrible beliefs, be careful". Which is valid when you're getting the kind of exposure a HN top post does.
