Obviously I made a bit of a generalized blanket statement and it's a bit of a subjective situation.
Having said that, I'd assume you are aware that MegaLocks has been profitable for years and clearly works EXTREMELY hard at what he does to provide great picks. This year he has gone out of his way to setup a VERY clean and well run website that has all his picks, let alone write ups and tons of other good info and links. And he is ONLY charging less than $150 whereas most big name "Touts" charge upwards of $500 for season long packages.
Not only that, but he's not a scumbag tout, he readily admitted that he has to take a lot of time to come up with his insight and he is at a point where he wouldn't mind being compensated. There are no shady tout tactics as from what I can see....
Anyway seeing as his work/picks are that good and his price is so low, I just think it's kind of lame to take money out of his pocket yet also enjoy all the benefits of having paid full price. Seems unfair and somewhat shady to me, maybe you feel differently.
