If i consume 12+ episodes of something it means there is some value there. Otherwise I would have stopped earlier. I don't really understand all this negativity towards Ferriss. He's an honest guy who provides a lot of value to people. No one is forced to listen to him.

Not really. As I said I tried a few then just downloaded the interviews of people I as interested in thinking he might be as good as Mixergy. Ultimately I found out nothing new was really asked in any of the interviews I listened to.
So I thought there would be redeeming value in the interviews of guests I was interested in but at least for me there was not.

I'm not really negative towards him I just find his content spammy / of little value. It's terribly generic and I find the examples of comparing him to horoscopes pretty apt.
He does a lot of interviews so after I determined I wasn't the biggest fan I decided to download just the episodes with interviews of people I was interested it. Then I unsubscribed.
Seems reasonable to me.
