I did all digital notes when I was in university and just gave read-only access to the cloud where I stored them for literally anybody who asked. Like word got around and people from other majors who took the same course where like “Hey you’re the dude with the notes, right? Can I get access?” and I’m like “yeah sure leave me an e-mail.”
Most people just greeted me friendly after that or bought me the occasional coffee when they were convinced they’d have flunked an exam otherwise, but there was just this sizeable minority of people asking why I don’t want anything in return or fearing I’d retroactively force a deal on them. The whole Idea that I made those notes anyways for myself digitally and that it’s 0 effort to give someone access to them didn’t compute for them.
I went to university studying a rather reactionary field full of rich failsons, weird Ayn Rand nerds and God, King and Country dorks cosplaying as interwar members of the landed gentry. And everyone shared notes left right and centre, everyone helped each other make illegal copies of textbooks.
