People don't value what they get for free. The internet is the biggest deflationary force of all time (it brings down prices of many many things). This has led to the devaluation of many professionals, experts (now a dirty word), and others who excel at their field or craft. Sam Vaknin attributes it to envy, what he calls pathological envy. Healthy envy makes you strive to be like the object of your envy, pathological envy makes you want to destroy the things you envy.

I'll figure it out.
You do great work. Valuable information. You're pragmatic and aren't afraid to say what needs to be said. I'm absolutely in and will stay in, even if sometimes I don't agree with some small things.
Well said. These same people will go off and spend $3995 on a cruise and bitch about the lack of pickleball courts. Sometime ya just gotta keep doin’ and keep givin’.
