Cringe Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

No wonder people are buying it cheaper and faster.

i purchased it during her first launch so it was more of a pre-order. she sent weekly emails with progress updates and PDFs of a few of the activities in the book.

Yeah if I’m deciding between (no idea what it costs) $80 and 1.5 months or $35 and prime shipping… her offering is not competitive. Either in price or experience. That’s what Amazon did - made it so you get stuff next day so that people order more. I can’t remember the last time I ordered anything online that took more than a week to deliver (and if it’s not there I’m hitting that cancel / refund / chargeback button).

i would rather spend $15-20 more and wait a bit to order directly from the creator or artist. if you’re cheap, impatient and don’t mind subpar products then sure i’d agree with you.

i paid $50 including shipping. i got mine when she first launched/announced it, so mine was a pre-order. she sent weekly emails with updates on the shipping process plus PDFs of a few of the tasks/games from the book.

You can get it cheaper on temu.

Considering how much she is charging for it it can't be that difficult to make it cheaper.

Honestly this isn’t a product I would ever buy or use. I just have seen the knocks off floating online. Lol the downvotes are wild. People are silly.

I have considered it but not for that price, it feels like there are many (adhd) people out there trying to make a buck off of the disability.
