If you're like me, you've probably had an increased interest in FOSS, mesh networks, and DIY-IOT.

Lately I've been seeing The Data Slayer videos, and finally I watched one and even checked out his website.

Turns out this guy is using AI to repackage free information and upsell it at extortionate prices.

I knew he was a sensationalist but I guess I never knew it was this bad just because I never looked into what he was selling(didn't realize he was selling anything), too bad

    Saw one of his videos and the moment I realized he was selling a course, I blocked him.

    Never knew it was AI, but I got burned and bought one of their dumb guides. At least through it I found the great community that they were ripping off.

    The problem is not AI, but side hustle idea, that you repacking what is free, marketing it then sell.

    This dude sell FOSS

    Another dude will sell cheap Chinese OEM product with US pricing and another story behind it.
