Humans are complex. It's possible for someone to want to do good and at the same time want to promote/market their product and make a profit. I don't see a contradiction there.
How do you call a marketing campaign that does not deliver on what it promised? I have no problem with anthropic trying to create good will around their products but this particular campain aiming to find good will around people doing open source was an outright lie that did not deliver what it promised and this was all done on HN.
When a company lies for something that trivial, it does not inspire trust
