My adblocker gave me a tracker alert when I tried to click the link. Anyone got a clean link by any chance or can paste the contents here? :o

TLDR; some property owner that got miffed about having to pay a real estate agent a 3% commission for helping them sell a house that they failed to sell on their own filed a lawsuit about it, won, and now, they're starting a "service" which would instead force prospective buyers and renters who are probably already paying their life savings for a place to live "$49 for each home tour and $199 for an offer prep session. If they want more hand-holding, they can cough up a flat fee of $1,799, which includes up to five home tours and two offer prep sessions, with additional services available on an à la carte basis".
