They definitely do (or did, in the past).

Owen Cook talks a lot about eating healthy and meditating, and constantly recommends interesting books.

That guy is an absolute joke. It's psychology really, if someone pays for something they feel they received a better service than if it was free. Closet nerds jumping around doing a warrior scream. I find it embarrassing. I know several guys in our travel section that pull the hottest chicks in the world by just using their finger and pointing at their dick.

These lessons are free of charge to our forum members, in person, assuming you buy them a glass of whiskey, It's a shame more people don't take advantage of it. All the answers are right here on this forum.

The claim was that RSD does not promote anything beyond pickup.

That is demonstratively false.

That claim doesn't need to be made to support any of the points you brought up.

This happens here a fair bit. And that's equally as embarrassing as RSD's annoying crowd pumping tactics and manic energy.

Yes.
I am on red pill subreddit, very good for self-dev.
I am also on accounting subreddit, very good for my occupation.
If you went to my reddit profile, you could have checked, but no worries.

It takes time to look someone up, not to mention a basic understanding of the sight.

Why would they waste the time to loom it up when it's faster and simpler to take care of stuff here?

Not to mention that site is still a shithole and last I remember the trp shredder had 'cuckalphas'

lastly, trying to spout out why you think this shit is good is akin to a vegan telling everyone they're a vegan.

I'm still a massive fan of Tyler's early videos.

But RSD has now become grotesque and corporate, and not a single one of his instructors is worth watching. Irritating even.

Just glancing at the list of events in this weekend – I can't be happy about RSD unleashing a horde of spergs on my stomping ground.

I like Tyler. I think he's a smart guy and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped me out a lot in 2013 when I broke free from an LTR. His videos then were insightful.

But how much juice can you squeeze from this subject?

These RSD guys are pumping out 90 minute videos every day. It's exhausting listening to them. The constant need to pump out new content has complicated this subject for newbs.

Also, I think they handled the Julian fiasco really poorly.

@churros: Have you checked out Todd Valentine and RSDLuke? They're coming up with pretty fresh content. Todd is the only current daygame guide I trust aside from Torero/Krauser. Because I'm in the RSD Inner Circle group for NYC, I had the opportunity of getting my own infield videotaped and analyzed by him in his own apartment, which was a super amazing experience. In my opinion he's a contender for best in the world, both at teaching and doing. The new content he has revolves around having a solid understanding of female psychology and how to systematically learn game.

Luke is one of the only gurus out there talking about social circle game, and is developing a product on social media.

The main issue with RSD is their business model which demands new content being pumped out on a regular basis, which leads to a lot of rehashing and overstretching, but in their defense pickup is something that does evolve to new developments in technology and social norms. I bet gaming an 18 year old in 2017 who is immersed in various social media outlets and glued to her smartphone feels quite a bit different from gaming an 18 year old in 2002. The underlying principles are still the same, but some of the techniques and places where girls congregate have changed. Many girls don't even bother going to nightclubs anymore because of dating apps like Tinder/Bumble, and showing off a good social media profile was something pretty much no PUA was worried about back in the 2000s.

A couple things I'll add is that Tyler and Julien don't even focus on pickup anymore, but spiritualism and personal development. Some people new to this expect to learn about pickup from their new vids, but that just won't be the case. Max seems to be catering to young newbies in their teens and early 20s who are just finding out about pickup for the first time (most of RSD's new clients apparently have never read The Game, and have no clue about most gurus from earlier years).

The last thing I'll mention is that it really isn't that big of a deal to mention that you're in this community as long as you frame it the right way. Don't be apologetic and defensive. Talk about it as if only the coolest, smartest, boldest, and most dedicated men would be involved in it.
