1.) Would you charge for directing help, directing questions, common errors, and directing classes? I wouldn’t personally. no.
2,) Do you think that people should charge people for these things?
I don’t really care whether people charge for this or not. There are other free options out there so it doesn’t really.

What is your opinion on this matter?
I can’t say this really bothers me, but what does bother me is when people disrespect other people’s time by demanding help and then getting mad, cussing them out or spreading rumors when the person says no. What does bother me is when people go into other people’s DMs demanding their time because they’re too lazy to read a tutorial or look at a tutorial somebody else has made. It takes time to put together tutorials or give one on one instruction, and I think if somebody chooses to monetize that time they’re taking, more power to them. There are enough free resources out there that it doesn’t hurt anybody who can’t afford to pay or who doesn’t want to, and personally I think it’s a great reminder to people that if they want somebody’s time, they need to respect it. I’ve seen enough of people demanding other people’s time to show them how to do things to not be bothered when somebody chooses to profit off that demand.
On the flip side, I’m not really sure it’s worth charging people for because there are enough free resources out there and people willing to help for free. I think charging people for these services will just alienate whoever’s doing it from the rest of the community. But you won’t see me charging or paying anybody for these services.
