I read it. The advice is not that bad in some places but it is kind of weird. Basically it's "People love talking about themselves, so ask them questions and listen to what they tell you. Even if you don't say much they'll often think you're a great conversationalist." That one is good. Others are like "People love the sound of their own names, so say their names a bunch".
I don't think it's that weird or manipulative, it just has kind of a clickbait title from before clickbait was a thing. Most of the advice doesn't seem that good (specifically saying peoples names freakishly often) but it's not like... pickup artist type stuff or anything.
I believe busses should be equipped with those things ambulances have that turns the lights for them, and to save money we can just take them off cop cars.
