You think he's worthless and yet you listened to "a dozen or so of his podcasts". Mmmmkay.

  What of it? I think lots of stuff is terrible and pay attention to it to better understand it. Both to insure against the possibility that I'm wrong and, if I'm not, to better understand why it exists and how it came to be.

  So you've never tried something multiple times before deciding it wasn't for you? He does a lot of interviews so after I determined I wasn't the biggest fan I decided to download just the episodes with interviews of people I was interested it. Then I unsubscribed. Seems reasonable to me.

    If i consume 12+ episodes of something it means there is some value there. Otherwise I would have stopped earlier. I don't really understand all this negativity towards Ferriss. He's an honest guy who provides a lot of value to people. No one is forced to listen to him.

      > If i consume 12+ episodes of something it means there is some value there Not really. As I said I tried a few then just downloaded the interviews of people I as interested in thinking he might be as good as Mixergy. Ultimately I found out nothing new was really asked in any of the interviews I listened to. So I thought there would be redeeming value in the interviews of guests I was interested in but at least for me there was not. > I don't really understand all this negativity towards Ferriss. He's an honest guy who provides a lot of value to people. No one is forced to listen to him. I'm not really negative towards him I just find his content spammy / of little value. It's terribly generic and I find the examples of comparing him to horoscopes pretty apt.
