I’ve read most of these posts and I still don’t feel swayed in my opinions. I’ve been following Tyler’s blog for a couple of years now off and on and I’ve been really inspired by a lot of his work. And the way I see it he tells you from the beginning what he is… an internet entreprenuer. I don’t claim to know what he was thinking when he did it, but I know what I would be thinking. And I even remember him talking about it in the post when I originally read it. He’s not going to give out a resource for nothing. And that according to everything that I’ve studied regarding marketing says that it was good marketing tactics with clever wording. You are exposed to it everday in the media. Take a college course in marketing then come back and tell me that they don’t play on emotions and needs of the consumer to make money. I understand that running a blog creates a sense of communal trust, but essentially Tyler is here for the same reason you are here reading his posts. To learn and make money. He’s learning just like the rest of us. And to be given a good reliable source for top quality material is worth $150 to Tyler to me. It seems to me that if I was in his position it would be a great 3 way compromise. Make more for your source, therefore establishing more of a trusting business relationship with your graphic designer. Who wouldn’t want that? Then he gets to give an excellent resource to his users, and to keep him from worrying about his source getting out he also makes some off the top. Seems like a pretty sweet deal for everyone. And I’m more than certain that there are many people complaining that use similar techniques in search engine optimization and marketing. This is a business, he’s an entreprenuer, and he was using marketing tactics… get over it. Thanks for the resource Tyler.

I didn’t fall for it. I know that not responding and defending myself would do more harm than good, so unfortuately I was forced into responding.

[...] his readers into paying more than they should for a designer’s services. Tyler, of course, defended himself. The results? 81 comments on Cow’s post and 40 on Tyler’s. As far as I can tell, [...]

John Cow should definitely have contacted you before making such accusations on his site. And I wonder how many of you criticising Tyler would have done the same when put in that position.

Seem’s someone is trying to set you up!!
There are 2 ways to come to the top. A good one and an evil one.
The good one is to do your best to try to reach the top,
i’ll prefer this one as it makes you take the best out of you.
And needless to say, there is the evil way. You just remain at your position and
make everything to make the people above you fall. This is not nice but many people do that.
