Dude I literally wrote on the landing page, and said in the trailer video that the guide was to: 1. Help people build great courses (which is 99% of the content, took me 5 months to research and write, and is totally free) 2. Promote our software (1% of the content, and any course creator can still apply the guide, even if they don't use our software) What are you talking about :')

Don't take it personally. There are so many bad actors today that it's easy to misjudge.

Just be confident in your conscience about what and why you do stuff.

The virtual world seems to push people (generalizing) towards negative states of mind as well. If you're using the internet as a medium, be prepared to encounter this from time to time.

I've spent a lot of time on the project so that's probably why I took it a bit personally, but you're right I shouldn't fall in the trap of getting into internet fights.

Wow. That just looks completely scammy. I am not judging your ethics, just the appearance. I wouldn't touch that site with a ten foot pole. Everything about the design looks like your average scam site.

It's a topic I'm very interested in, and I couldn't make it past the beginning.

I tried to work in the UX and make it easy to navigate, while still promoting the company I work for without making it too intrusive but I’m open to feedback.

Could you please tell me what did you find looked scammy specifically?
