I am thinking of recommending this to people, all of whom are unlikely to pay. Is having people acquire this for $0 who would otherwise not have read it beneficial or harmful to MIRI? (If the answer is “harmful because of paying for people to download it”, I can email it to my friends with a payment link instead of directing them to your website.)
Definitely beneficial, there is no cost worth considering when it comes to the next marginal person getting the book through our site, even if their selection is $0. So don’t worry about directing them there.
