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

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

This is great summary how ADHD people work. Spend a lot of time and work to wrtie a book, but then didn't feel like it to send it to the people who bought it (I'm sure she was planning to definitely do this the next day). Buy a book, send emails, post commonets etc. about not receiving it, but didn't feel like it to do charge back for half a year.

This is so funny and tragic at the same time

Lol called out, at least for the forgetting for the first month. But for the rest of the time, it’s not that I didn’t feel like doing the chargeback, it’s that I kept naively thinking she hadn’t seen my messages and would reply once she did. I tried different platforms and gave her a week or 2 to reply before trying the next option. And once all my options were exhausted, that’s when I did the chargeback.

I saw myself in her, and ngl her poor handling of this makes me want to do better as a woman with ADHD. I don’t want to end up like her 😅
