I suggest you actually listen to the interview. Nobody talked about this being a "passive income" business. In fact, early in the interview, Dan talked about how he doesn't believe any business can be truly automated, and that answer actually made me re-think the question I had asked.

"statistically needling their way into some exploitative niche" ...wow. Providing real support to website owners who need it (and are willing to pay for it) is exploitation?

In reality, WP Curve provides an alternative to hiring a web developer by the hour to provide support when needed. It's actually a much more efficient model for all parties (client and developer).
