Alrighty, I got the ebook. Here is my review
Just like what everyone else is saying, this one is short, sweet, and to the point. I hate eBooks because I really don't care about personal life stories, I just want the information. That is exactly what
@thescrrr brings. It's kind of like a user manual, which is perfect.
Before I read the book, these were the questions I posted. I've included my own answers below, if anyone finds it helpful.

No it is not. The only way you would know this is if you were a veteran Redditor and someone who intimately understood the capabilities you can control if you are the mod of a sub, and you were very proficient in SEO/marketing practices. If you had all of these skills, then you could put your deep rooted understanding in subreddit mod settings + SEO + marketing together, build this strategy yourself, and then this ebook would be pointless.
So, for the large majority of us, this is far from obvious information, and genuinely helpful. Note, I am saying genuinely helpful, and not mindblowingly helpful. That being said, the amount of helpfulness compared to the cost
is worth it.
I own a service business and my subreddit discusses those services. The reason I asked this questions is because I assumed everyone buying this eBook owned subs like /r/flashlight, and just wanted to market their affiliate links. This eBook does work for that, but it also helps tremendously for my use case. I've been able to bring more traffic to my website and get more back links.
So to answer the actual question, this eBook is great for someone who wants to use their subreddit as a way to bring more traffic to their other assets, whatever they may be.
I don't think so. I could piss someone off if I decided to use these techniques without following general reddetiquette, but if you know how Reddit works, and you own a sub, then this is probably worth it for you.
My conclusion:
It is really easy to start a subreddit, and their are tons of guides built to help subreddit mods, but I think most people start to build a sub because they want a community that is missing. While there is a lot of good info out there, most of the mod info is geared towards your community, preventing spam, and changing your theme. Nothing like this exists, which is a detailed guide on growth and techniques within your own subreddit to optimize your community far beter than what is was before.
My suggestion, if you fall into this group of an individual who wants to start a subreddit, or you currently have a subreddit, this is a really good resource to have. Also, by keeping the content gated through an eBook, it makes it better as you will maintain the competitive edge.
