You've taken a bunch of other people's copyrighted work, formatted it as a PDF, and then ask for money for it... on your company's website? That's so weird. I get maybe dipping into Reddit to have a couple of blog posts that show up in search results, with the goal of getting people to click through to your products or whatever, but actually asking for money for the e-book is a new one.<p>My main takeaway is that if I walked into a Juno Bank branch, the teller would be happy to give me a pen to fill out the application, but would first ask "need a pen? name your price." The pen would then have a Chase logo on it, since they got it from the bank across the street.
Although this is excellent, never substitute someone else's tips for your own financial literacy.<p>Example: Many sites will have lists of best credit cards to have. Often they don't take into account your personal circumstances.<p>For some, Bank of America likely has the best Credit Card available if you are a Platinum Honors tier member (>$100k combined across all accounts). With this tier, their Premium Rewards card gives me 2.62% cashback on every single purchase. I get 5.25% casback on Gas using their Cash Rewards card.
I actually bought this book and then realized it was literally copy-pasted list of posts with zero commentary, context or value-add. The money was inconsequential and was refunded but I find it weird that the company would do this. Even more bizarre that the employees are defending it on HN. Their understanding of copyright law, ethics and plain decent behavior seems severely lacking. Banks are supposed to be super conservative when it comes to correct behavior because money, law and the feds but....<p>I would rather trust Comcast than these folks for banking....okay maybe not but you get the gist.
