Hey, so you know what would really help your videos?? -If you got off your high horse and stopped letting your apparently huge yet very fragile ego get in the way.

OK, so this latest video was priced really cheap... but you know what I did with it after I watched it the first time??-- RECYCLE BIN. So, yah, it was still overpriced.

It was also evident (from the girl's dialog in the phone call), that this was produced in haste as some sort of passive aggressive knock against racerX's presence on this site. ...Of course the irony was that her line "oh yah, our stuff is way better" was said in what was probably your worst product.

So you came here for advice on how to do these vids-- great! good for all of us. and as a result you did some great vids-- and as a result of that, you seem to have been rewarded w/ 4 out of 5 of your best selling vids being growth vids.
But you seem to think that it makes you some sort of trailblazer who's above criticism and gets to hold some sort of copyright on the entire idea of growth. --Not the case. In my mind, you're just a capitalist. You produce a good product and I'll reward you with my money. Produce a piece of crap -- which I pay for-- and of course you get criticism. Suck it up, learn from it and move on. Don't get all butt hurt and dwell on it.
-- and don't worry about what other growth producers are doing. So you beat racerX to this website-- good for you-- but this isn't finders keepers, you don't get to corner the market just b/c you were here first. Of course there are going to be some similarities in your stuff because you're both trying to appease the same consumer market. In the end, this market has more than enough room for the both of you; and there's enough difference in the intangible "feel" of your video productions that, even if one were to actually intend to rip off the other, the result would still be different.

I'm going to let this latest video slide. I'll view it as some sort of hiccup in the otherwise stellar collection of vids you've done.
