My 2p is that it doesn't matter. My train of thought about this is as follows
Let's assume that the subs are just a placebo - a mental sugar pill. But you see positive results that you wouldn't have seen without the placebo. That's what any placebo does - our minds get tricked into providing the result.
If you have the mental capacity to get your mind to provide a result without the placebo, go ahead and do it. Over the past few years it's become obvious that most western minds can't get results without help, and we already value money, so when we pay hard earned cash for something our subconscious picks up that it's important to us. Like OP said, if it's placebo, it'll be the money and effort and time we put into the change.
This is another good reason to pay for self-improvement, pirated stuff won't get as much value on a subconscious level.
Of course, YMMV
