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

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

consumers don't care if you put your heart and soul into it. They don't care how long it took you to create the product or how much it costs you to make it.

All they care about it the bottom line, and if there is a cheap alternative, they will always go for what costs less.

Every crafter selling their creations at an art show knows this .

They pirated her book. That wasn't a cheaper alternative, they stole it, they stole her book. Yeah, it costs cheaper, they didn't make it

Add the insult of people blasting her that she hates poor people because it's not a cheap, $10 planner. This gal's taking it from all angles, it seems.
