It's an inconvenient truth to many, but let's call a spade a spade.
but is that really unusual?

you can buy a pair of jeans that are made from the same people, with the same material in the same factory for a 10th of the price when the brand name is not on it.
is it a scam? i would say yes but a well accepted scam.

but i know what you mean and this is why I am always try to prevent this really ugly stuff and donīt allow to promote it in my network.

but I am pretty sure that we can agree that 99% of the users are seeing the value of a digital product completely different from us.
on the other hand our biz was always selling dreams - and we also know that dreams canīt be sold anymore as soon as they come true.
