I do think they point their analytics at forums like this - not necessarily to drive product design but just to see if what they're doing is driving engagement.
I'm in the corporate IT / marketing / selling business, and trust me... these companies are devouring this data like a fat kid on a smartie.
That might be so, but his point is also the constant, never ending regurgitation of the same exact taking points (The grille this and the grille that) that doesn't add anything of value or interest to the conversation. Just the mantra and the idea that the more the same exact thing is repeated it must somehow become "fact".

This is the same exact strategy so called political "pundits" do in news network channels. Repeat, repeat and repeat the same talking points.
