I am not sure what your hostility stems from ?
The author is talking about Wordpress not being easy. You are wrong in that the developer nets $25K per theme. Most of these themes have less than 100 sales so a $50 theme nets less than $5000 for the developer.
Further to that most of these themes now have a very good customizer so even your average Joe can customize it to their liking.
The discussion is absolutely not about value. Its about the author talking about wordpress not being easy. Amazon AWS is not easy and yet they have managed to increase their revenue.
If a non technical person can set-up a wordpress and be able to use it then truly it has done a good job of being easy.
- x5n1 11y agoThat's one aspect of it. The other aspect of it that because the developer is charging $3,000 - $5,000 they are doing something wrong that the user can do themselves for $50. This sort of mentality creates a toxic market for WP developers. It's fine for people to do it for $50, it's not fine to go around spreading this toxic rhetoric that the developers charging $3000-$5000 are ripping people off. And that's what I read OP's comment as saying and that's what the hostility is directed at.
- zenincognito 11y agoAgain you are being hostile to your own perception and what you think you are reading. I did not say the developers were ripping people off. I did not even talk about the value the developers provide. You assumed that I was talking about developers ripping people off which in some way reflects your own inferiority complex about this issue. I read the previous response and neither is that person saying what you are perceiving.
