Totally agree with you. I hate charging for time because i do enjoy helping people out but this is a capitalistic society (If i had to pick a race humans would most likely become, i'd definitely choose Ferengi - we're far too greedy and competitive to become the way humans are in the idealistic realm of Star Trek).

I think your prices are good value and i understand the different memberships and why they exist but, certainly for new customers, it can be very confusing. Consider how much a full access course with a certified body would cost, then consider how much more material you are getting here!

You mentioned "Netflix", i signed up for Netflix in December 2018 on the top package for 6.99 (Great British Pound). Its now June 2022 (3.5 years later) and my plan downgraded at some point to standard AND the price is currently 10.99. According to my calculator, that's a 57.22% increase AND reduction in benefits in that time. Theres your con!!!

I for one am currently on Silver to get the extended cuts and currently paying for the course through OLP (Great system). Once i get to developer level, i hope to have finances sorted out to go platinum and get those lesson inclusive - i think its definitely worth it for  building a solid career foundation. Thanks Rick
