You are right! Chris is making money on this and… I love it.
I’m not gonna dismiss anything you say as it’s your opinion. We can lurk so much information Chris is shedding without spending a single dime on it, because PP is mostly free. The paywall is to fence off some censorship sensitive material and to have a member discussion that should not be publicly available and yes, it also pays for the dream Chris & Evie have (rightfully so!). Imagine that Chris would work an office job, he would probably make more in any other commercial capacity than running this “gig” but he would not have enough spare time to dive into the matters a lot of people care about.
If you care and are able to support Chris, do so, no strings attached. If you won’t, all the best to you and feel free to enjoy the free content. If you can’t afford, then first and foremost sorry for your hardship, but the same applies, enjoy the free content, there is tons. In all earnest, when a buck a day is challenging, there are probably bigger fish to fry than hanging around PP. Even then, welcome to have you.
There is a lot of info on the FANG channels like YT that’s completely free, judge for yourself where your time is spend most wisely.
