I love free stuff as much as the next guy…
But the reality is that something like this takes a lot of effort - both from me and my friends and family. This content was originally available through a paid subscription model ($40USD per month), but like I said, I really just want people to use it. If it’s worth something to you and you want to donate something, you’ll make my day :-)
