Spent $200 on a 'premium' online course about asking better questions and it was just recycled blog posts.

Man, that reminds me of when I bought a fancy ebook on productivity. It was all about waking up at 5am and doing cold showers. The whole thing was just a bunch of screenshots from the guy's Twitter threads I'd already read for free. Felt like such a scam, paying for stuff that's just sitting out there already.

Totally get what you mean @simonh74. I read this article last week about how a lot of those "gurus" just repackage free social media posts into expensive PDFs. The writer called it "digital scrapbooking" and said it's a whole business model now. They even mentioned that exact 5am routine stuff being copied and pasted from tweets. Makes you wanna check the free stuff first every single time.

Yeah I used to think that stuff was worth paying for.
