This feels like a response to destroyallsoftware.com. Which is AWESOME. I'm glad the "pro" market for screencasts is getting more attention.

They might be awesome, but unless you scroll down to the very bottom and notice a small note, you would think this a free service. I felt like being deceived and immediately closed the website after signup confirmation, when asked to enter credit card details.

I may have paid if I knew it upfront, but this kind of approach is so annoying, that I would prefer not to pay just because of that.

What are you talking about? The cost is shown in several areas of the page, and "pro" usually means the pay version.

I think hasanove is talking about destroyallsoftware.com, which is a pay site, but it's hard to tell from the landing page.

I also think it's the response (i.e., railscasts.com/pro) that is being called awesome in the root comment, even though the wording is somewhat ambiguous.
