> Not really understanding the negativity here. We know for a fact that most of the people that master intellectual problems do so via pattern recognition, not by reasoning.

The negativity here with me is because it feels like clickbait and like a scammy ad to manipulate me into purchasing.

It is almost lying. I find it unethical and I don't think there are 17 lifetime access spots, it's just artificial hype that doesn't make sense to me.

Marketing (at least like this) is basically lying.

I agree fully, which is why I called it a (good) marketing bait. Worked on me.

Might be because I'm also considering finding new clients/jobs, and apparently even for 2/3 months of collaborations people are sending me through several rounds of algo questions, so it was a nice add on top of my leetcode and codewars drills.
