As far as I know, iota-news is an unofficial news website that I appears to be unaffiliated with the IOTA foundation. The website appears to derive a bit of revenue from advertising, although the advertisements are too small to be credible. The article about setting up a crypto wallet looks quite like an advertorial that may violate United States rules on advertising, should there be proof that it was, indeed, sponsored. So, I can say that this advertising attempt was to get in more users and therefore, bring the entity behind iota-news money, which in turn may give some of it’s proceeds to the crypto wallet company.

May I suggest that you redact the link, please?

Tbf, I don't think there's much point in censoring the link if your common logic is good enough to tell you otherwise.
