I think the price is not to much and in the end you just need to wait. You just have to pay if you want to read it faster. It seems totally out of place to describe it like what you do. It is very very very very obviously no scam at all. And their is no room for arguing at all. It basically is slandering what you and many other people do.

It seems to me that many people forget that there are people behind this chapters who put some work into this. This absolutely toxic mentality to want to have everything for free as if it was common sense is just stupid, selfish and immature.
