i didnt say its too expensive, quite the opposite. i argued that the price is reasonable and justified.

but i hate to believe that all community engagement NERD did so far was all just so that they get the right reputation set up in order to be able to sell the book. i hate to believe that he is selling out everything just to sell the book. i hate to think that when he did make the great videos and articles and shared stuff for free, that all he had in mind was money after all.

if the book is written by someone who does not care at all about the community, then i dont see myself buying it. and thats what it seems like.

yes im not forced to buy anything. thats the point. when the marketing strategy that is being used is too dirty in my opinion, then i dont buy. of course it is his right to cripple his website and take down the youtube videos, but i dont like it.
