No, not an ad at all.
It's important that people realize how dangerous dice rolls are, and that the main reason for potentially doing them (compromised RNG) is easy to prevent by using multiple RNG sources from different manufacturers, plus an additional open-source RNG source.
For the vast, vast majority of threat models dice rolls provide no real-world security and introduce massive risk of loss.

He's part of Foundation Passport company, if he mentions the product when giving advice, it's shilling. We are not stupid.
99.99999% of users are better off allowing good, multi-source, open-source random number generation like we do on Passport.
He just mentioned "like Passport". There isn't even a link to Passport. How did you get the impression it's an ad?
Imo, you completely missed the point of this post. on-board RNG is used everywhere on the internet. Dice rolls are not standardized which is very important for security.
No one looked if you rolled your dices right. Are you using enough force? Are you randomly picking up the dice so not the same side is always up before you throw? etc.
Humans are pretty bad at being random.

If you can't roll dice, you are literally incapable of taking care of yourself. You are either a toddler or a senile elderly.
Did you forget the losses that have happened because of errors in RNGs???
You think the average person is more capable of analyzing the nuances of different RNGs? That is absurd
