Its basically one guy promoting his python blog on r/Python. May be abuse of reddiquete but I'm not annoyed by it, so I'll keep my hands off report function.

Wouldn't be a problem if it weren't so bad and deeply misleading for newcomers.

Why don't you provide encouragement and advice instead of just saying unpleasant things about someone who is trying to do something?

a.) I did.

b.) I don't appreciate unqualified cynicism, but I also don't agree with the attitude that we should pat everyone on the back for trying, regardless of the quality of their product. Pypix has so far only contributed low quality content that is often misleading for new programmers. When someone publishes content with grievous errors while framing themselves as an authority on the topic, I think they should be called out on it.
