@Rowwhizdom: Thanks for your kind (and very touching) post. Times are tough financially for most people --- some of whom have never struggled with money before. I feel for you and hope all turns out well for you and your family.
When it comes to what I do here, I am actually conflicted about it. I really am.
On the one hand, I know it is not right to bandy other people's assets around when it is a clear infringement on their copyright and they need to make money, too.
Before I landed here years ago, I spent untold sums of money on guru's promises month after month. Some of the same marketers are still at it today ... jumping on the newest trend with another shiny object that keeps them in the money. I still buy an occasional product if I really, really want it and can't find it via black-hat means. But ever since I first stumbled upon BBHF, I never looked back.
On the other hand, when I look at some of these "serial sellers" stuff, you soon grow tired of the silly titles that promise instant riches with little or no effort. That mindset alone will keep you down because it takes working harder and smarter to make it.
And another thing: Guru's courses are so convoluted that they're designed to take months to get through. The gigabyte file sizes are a strain on HDs and most people will never completely go through a training.
And have you seen the prices of some of these products?
With all the up-sells, down-sells and side-ways sells --- these greed-merchants are making out like fat cats.
I don't mean to sound like an un-marketer but... I kinda am.
In an economy where people are struggling to decide whether to buy 2 weeks worth of groceries or pay their car insurance or utility bill, these merchants seem to throw numbers in the air and whatever figures fall is the price they sell their latest course offering for.
Over time, I have become a kind of black-hat Robin Hood --- taking from the rich to give to the poor souls who can't afford it but may direly need it.
It's not exactly help. Just a helping hand.
Still, is that right?
Absolutely not. I'll be the first to say so. But sometimes in life, when situations warrant it, you do what you wouldn't do ordinarily. And you don't boast about it.
To my credit, I've tried to curtail sharing other people's stuff as much as I used to while focusing more on sharing tutorials on how readers can do their own searches to find files, themselves. It's a slightly different take that gets the same results.
But I'm finding that a lot of folks here don't seem to want that kind of aid. They just want a clickable download link that puts the product on their HD. They don't want to do the real work that brings valuable downloads whenever you need them.
And I say that because some people PM me for files but don't want all the details on how to find them.
"Just the link, ma'am" seems to be their mantra.
With all the free to use websites that offer up guru's ebooks and courses and products, it's not like if we black-hatters stop sharing, nobody else will.
Look, I also know there are plenty of people here who don't deserve the value they get from this forum because they're all about self. Others can easily afford to buy a lot of what they download for free.
I'm having to learn to ignore all the leechers at BBHF and I'm having a hard time with that. But leechers will never amount to anything because despite their greed, they will never be happy or fulfilled.
So, that is their just reward.
However, there are also good people with hurting hearts that are temporarily in a bad place financially --- whether it's because of poor choices they made or for reasons beyond their control.
If any of my shares can help just a few of them, then I'm okay with what I do here.
