Why is that? I've seen similar advice elsewhere (for example, 37Signals doesn't disclose revenue etc) but I've never been sure of the reason.
Andrew Warner on the other hand talks about how he was initially uncomfortable with it but decided to do it based on the advice of the Neil Patel and it really helped him establish credibility and build traffic:

I'll say one thing - nobody gave a shit about me till the very first time I posted revenue figures a few months ago. Then I went from 40 twitter followers to 300 in a couple of days or so.
Because when you start talking about good revenue numbers you bring in competitors to the market. This advice is especially true in markets with very low barriers to entry like iPhone apps. Would it be easy to duplicate what maxklein is currently doing? Probably not, but $40k/month is going get some people to at least try and those people may end up being his competitors.

Just a quick comment: never tell the world how much you make, unless required by the law.
