First chapter was quite fun. I actually would have bought the course, but do not own a credit card. This is quite common outside of the US, if you could add PayPal it would be substantially more accessible.

Hi! What are the main things you'd remove? E.g. maybe we've gone too heavy with the illustrations, or sounds?
...everything from the emojis on up? I think it's just not my vibe. But I'm sure you've done it this way because it works for a lot of other people.
Everything here screams "we're sales people first, content people second" and that's not worth my time. I'll choose quiet confidence over showmanship.

Your comment comes off bitter. You could just provide additional links for those interested, and/or not read/buy the course if you're not interested. Whatever is upsetting you is not this.
I am indeed bitter (def: anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment) about people using their credentials rather than real merits of their work to attempt to get a leg up when advertising their work. I covered my dissatisfaction about that in my post. Distill.pub for example, despite being written by people who worked at OpenAI and (also funded by) Google Brain, makes nearly no mention of either.…
I actually bought your book on Amazon and the book I received was insanely disappointing. Full of typo’s, super wonky formatting, super short in depth and content, and the paper book was the lowest quality of any I’ve ever received from Amazon. I didn’t leave a review because There weren’t many and I didn’t want to sour your sales with a 1-star, but I now kind of regret that. The course looks cool, but it honestly ju…
Hi! I wonder whether we could win you back with the course? We've reworked so much of the content, I hope you'd find those problems are gone! (Although the course is not on higher quality paper)
This especially if it’s a rehash of the same material (which maybe you missed in my previous comment, but I didn’t find to be high-quality).

no, your feeling is valid, you speak for the rest of us who are so turned off we dont even bother to tell him

I self published the book to prove I could do something like that. It got much more traction than I had planned and, in hindsight, I wish I had paid for editing and formatting as a minimum.
As for the quality of the paperback, that was unfortunately out of my control as I used Amazon's print on demand services. Definitely a painful lesson for me.
In any case, I appreciate this comment and others here. I'm definitely working towards much higher substance with increased polish. :)

When places say "credit card", they really mean credit card or debit card. Either works.

Considering the OP’s complaint pointed to a lack of effort and polish, this response doesn’t really build trust in the product.
>(Although the course is not on higher quality paper)
Is a joke, because this course isn't a book at all.
