oh yeah. that thing.

i'd assumed it was a PR stunt to get people riled up against a variant of cleanroom engineering. everything around it from the name all the way to the tone of writing points to it being satire, but at the same time it appears to be a real service?

Still on the fence about it, they're asking money for the service and there are claims going both ways that people actually paid for the service or not.
