The article doesn't seem to offer any actually useful advice other than the obvious tips such as not eating cheetos while handling photos

    Temperature: A cool 65-70°F (18-21°C)
    Humidity: A comfy 30-40%"
This already seems impractical in most of the world... I'm not really sure how you'd ensure that in an affordable way - and the article doesn't really offer any advice. Maybe if you get some special sleeve that keeps the inside dry, and then place the photos in your refrigerator?

Obviously it's a dressed-up advert.

Remember, at Ente, we're all about keeping memories safe in the digital realm. Having a digital backup is like photo insurance. You wouldn't want something to HAPPEN to those photos, would you? Like maybe they could burn down. You oughta buy our service, you know, as insurance. This blog post is for informational purposes only.

Hmm, actually seems to be a free app. But a business, somehow. Ah, freemium cloud storage, right.

The blog post is for informational purposes. But your quote (?) is a cynical extrapolation. There is no fear mongering with a CTA to use Ente.

The point is that the article provides basically no actual novel or useful information. It's extremely superficial and just seems to serves to direct people to the service your promoting

It did include useful info I wasn't aware of such as acid-free folders and sleeves and polaroid light sensitivity, mine green-shifted in 2 years compared to film.
