My point is that if most detailed information about a subject is legally non-free, the prices are high, and there is no independent verification, the chances of the whole market being largely fraudolent are high.
(I agree that they’re way overpriced—but they’re nowhere as bad as you’d guess from the advertising.)
I suppose they are a bit of common sense and lots of nonsense. It could have some placebo effect, but so does homeopathy.

Others have already commented about The Blueprint Decoded.
Foundations seemed to me to be lots of common sense and a bit of nonsense¹: it’s mostly stuff that I’d guess most anywhere-near neurotypical people already know on some level. Of course, Egan’s Law must apply, so it’s not surprising that what PUAs teach isn’t that different from what sexually successful non-PUAs already do.
Transformations is essentially the life stories of a bunch of guys who used to be unsuccessful with women and then started doing PUA. It may be helpful for certain people due to this effect, but then again I’d rather read Feynman’s biography again. (I stopped watching it halfway through it.)
But then again, nearly any educational video whatsoever has a bit of nonsense.
Anyway. The Blueprint Decoded has been recommended by quite a few LWers (from googling I can find this and this, but I’m pretty sure there were more) though I’m under the impression that very little of PUA in general is that good.

The Blueprint Decoded.
I add my recommendation of that product… even to those not particularly interested in dating. As a pop-psychology and personal development product it is excellent. In fact it is sufficiently non-specialised that I would recommend those specifically interested in maximising their PUA success to also seek out a more tactical and less identity-based guide to complement it.

Fixed.
If I copied and pasted that, that might explain why I got so few search results… [tries] Apparently not.
