So yesterday MGTOW shared their beef with neomasculinity. And today it's the Red Pill, where people come out to share their long-held grievances with me.

Their entire argument is that I'm doing this for a money grab. Considering that in today's blog post I strongly criticized those who are fleecing men, and that straying away from PUA will certainly cause me to forgo significant amounts of money, they are desperate to find some avenue to attack me when I've been open as a book with all my actions. Considering that no work of mine costs more than $10 on Amazon, I must be doing a poor job at fleecing men for such trivial amounts of money.
They also pointed out my lecture tour as another way I'm earning "profit", when it's unlikely I will earn a dollar on it. I have stated that doing a lecture tour is a really stupid way to make money, but I wonder if anyone here really objects to me making some income off the value I do give which I labor on daily. If you do think I am taking advantage of men, or charging too much for anything I offer, please share it with me. And if you insist that I do everything for free, then I ask that you provide me with reasonable food and shelter so that I can continue my work along with $2,500+ in monthly expenses to maintain the operation of all my sites along with content production on ROK and RXN.
It's also telling how defensive they think in me "slamming" the red pill. I calmly and merely pointed out their collective mentality and ongoing direction. It was a description of the reality, not a slam, because if it was a slam, I could come up with other means that they would feel more harshly.
Don't let it get under your skin. How's the old saying go? "Haters gonna hate"? It's always been said that when you have people outraged and criticizing what you do then you are doing something right. Something disruptive.
I personally have never purchased any of your works, but I would not say your asking price for your content is unreasonable nor is it unjustified. I've been following you through RoK and your blog/videos for some time now and it's clear to me you have a passion for something and you put a lot of time and effort into it. When you are doing things and you're in the public eye there are going to be people that try to strike you down or look for reasons to demonize you - that's just how it works which I know you are very well aware of. I certainly am not educating you on anything in that realm, but I'm just saying I don't think you need to worry about defending yourself to this community.
