Why are you complaining about it when it says "Name a fair price:" in the price field? Work went into compiling and laying this out, so, why shouldn't someone

Why are you complaining about it when it says "Name a fair price:" in the price field? Work went into compiling and laying this out, so, why shouldn't someone be able to easily pay for that if they want?
- detaro 7y agoIt's literally other people's content copy-pasted in a "book". Even "free" (you still need to enter an e-mail address) that's not a great way of generating content (I guess you could argue there is some marginal value in selecting 50 "good" posts?), taking money for it is pretty slime-y.
- toolz 7y agoThen don't buy or exchange your email for it? I'm not sure why you feel the need to tell the rest of us how to morally evaluate this optional e-book. I traded my email for it and my morals weren't violated in the slightest. Are you planning on competing with the product or do you just want to see that person fail for no particular reason?
- pmiller2 7y agoI would agree with you if it were not possible to pay $0. But, there was work that went into compiling and laying this out, and that does add some value. I see no problem with offering this content on this basis, for the price of an email address, especially considering you can use a throwaway address.
