Is this ACM membership worth it?

If your paying $500 for an O’Reilly subscription, then the $99 membership plus $75 add-on for O'Reilly would seem to make it so even if you don't use any of the other facilities:

> unlimited access to ACM's collection of thousands of online books, video courses, interactive sandboxes, practice labs, and AI-enabled tools from O'Reilly and Skillsoft Percipio

Doesn’t help for O'Reilly content.

(Also, if you can afford the subscription money it makes sense to reward, not punish, ACM for making its own material open-access.)
