Yeah it leads you to think its some poor guy with issues then it dumps some natural snake oil on you. The older you get the wiser you get to these scams as you see so many in cosmetics. Its just an ad in disguise trying to sell you some natural supplements mixed together like the 50 other hair loss treatments on amazon that have some combo of saw palmetto, beta sis, and whatever other random stuff. None of the stuff works. That is why this story mentions the propecia side effects its trying to remind you of that to steer you into their product.
If your losing hair its worth the risk of propecia.
