Don't tell me it's right to pay $50k for general ed courses when you can get 60+ general ed online RA credits for under $5k.
Consumer choice. I'm thrilled there are options to take alternative credit, but there are plenty of people who prefer to go into debt for what they may view as necessary bragging rights or whatever, by going to a well-known uni for all 4 years. I wouldn't like to be forced into paying excessive tuition, just as others may not appreciate being forced to assemble a collection of ASU EA and TEL Learning credits.
Also: I never ever want to hear financial advice from some fella earning 150000USD a year. People in my country won't earn that in 15 years of working, so some dude starting at 60 000USD after graduation, and adding another 90 000USD to that in under 8 years, has, frankly, zero insight into financial sacrifice and 'frugal living'. I'm glad he's paid off his loans and all, but what a privileged and myopic example. I'll stop before I start swearing, but really.
