Topic: Should i post anymore videos?

[h4ppy-chris]

Please vote, it runs out in 10 days. I will stand by the outcome.
I feel the need to run this poll after some comments made by some members. I would like to know the bigger picture.

Thank you in advance.
Chris.

If there is a choice between writing the e-book and producing and posting videos, I would suggest you concentrate on the former; if, however, the videos will form a part of the e-book, then I see no harm in posting them so long as they are posted in such a way as to encourage constructive debate rather than mud-slinging.

The thing is Chris (as I see it :) you seem to be stringing people along, a little bit here a little bit there.  This is a free forum with free recipes that people give free of charge for one and all to try with just a  thank you as payment, yet you are promoting a book here to sell, not as you say for the members but for "you" as "you" will profit from the book.  This in itself will get peoples backs up (rightly or wrongly I am not judging you).  The more vociferous (as proved over the years) shout the loudest and longest yet contribute little or nothing.
 
I came here and took what I wanted, I tried to give input, but  I gave up and now I think why bother :.

The best thing you can do is ignore them.


If you want to sell a book and promote it here then go ahead, it isn't against any rules and others have done it.  I guarantee the next hopeful after you who comes along with an ebook to promote will get the same deal.

I for one enjoy your videos and have had great success from following some of your recipes.
I'ts not quite BIR (but I put that down to my inexperience) but damn fine food.

Oh please keep posting videos Chis.  I love your videos and will miss them if you stop.  Just ignore the trollers on here (ie SS), they're just jealous and incapable of civil conversation.

And we have another low poster (11 posts if the system is working correctly!) admirably championing Chris' book. So that'll be the third new poster today that's bigging-up Chris' efforts. Nothing suspicious there eh?

The only thing here that is suspicious SS, is your mind.

I appreciate your videos, as I've had the chance to mention in the past. I have learned a few things from you. However, as long as you keep references to your book and its secrets to a modicum and stop stringing people along until said the book gets released,  I'm happy with your contributions. I didn't vote as this is stupid. Question you can ask yourself: did you have an army of people telling you right from wrong before you came up with references to this book? I don't think so. The community is tightly knit.

I respect your opinion curryking, I know you are new to this site, but I have occasionally stumbled on the various youtube comments that you have left in various curry related videos, as it does seem you have a genuine interest for curry cooking. However, you also seem to be relatively new to this community, in which case, it's a bit harsh to be calling a long-time member as SS a troll, simply because he is more 'vocal' about the h4c's dodgy marketing ways. I for one dislike chris tactics and as a community of people roaming in the same direction, we should try not to support people trying to monetize on top of our desires and needs. It's just a shame that with all the shrink-wrap around it, it sounds more like snake oil pitch.

I'm sorry goncalo and to SS and yes you are right I didn't mean any offence and I appologise for any harm caused , I just thought that SS was being a little bit too cynical and harsh.  i understand that some people may look at Chris' book as a money making cash in from other peoples ideas but I'm willing to take him for his word.  Call me naive but maybe he has something in his book that everyone can learn from?  I am new in the community, however i did join this community 7 months before yourself and i'm not new to Indian cooking as I've pointed out in my previous posts.  I know alot about BIR and have over 4 years experience but I particularly specialise in real Indian food as many of my family are from India.
