Because it shows the utter pointlessness of MyWikiBiz, an attempt for him to make money by writing supportive articles on his clients. As the header says, "get paid to edit ethically" and that means that both the payments and the edits are ethical, as opposed to MyWikiBiz when they were neither.

It is conceivable that something like MyWikiBiz could have been done ethically. However the temptations that such a business would create would likely corrupt even some of the most upstanding individuals. Kohs had trouble seeing the problems that it could present and moreover when he saw them didn't seem to care much. However, that doesn't mean we should want him to be "sick". Indeed, I hope he finds something better to do with his time than keep obsessing with Wikipedia.
