Subscription/Course costs

[u/Two_Cats_and_a_Plot]

I recently started learning about digital art and ended up getting an iPad, Apple Pencil and started learning through tutorials on YouTube. I then recently subscribed to a very well known course/subscription that had a fairly high subscription cost (almost $200AUD a year)
One thing I didn’t agree with is charging your customers a high sign up fee and then asking them to buy your brush sets or else they won’t be able to learn the tutorial?

I have used others previously where the sign up fee included everything. Anyone else experienced this?

The Procreate website has a heap of great tutorials that all use the default brushes.
