This is not juvenile. I hate to say it, but the authors/publishers etc do not have a right to my money or silence. They did something I perceive as unethical, why wouldn't I let others know this? In this case, the unethical act was the implied promise, and using that to promote this bit of writing, then when that promotion worked, reverse said promise.
Nothing illegal, but unethical.
