I recall a list here a few weeks ago of 20+ active scumware providers. Even by the most conservative estimates of their individual impact, the total effect is something else again.
We know that most of those arguing that the traffic involved is small, are merely attempting to whitewash the issue. What people who think that way so stay out of the argument altogether tend to overlook, is that many of the "business" topics around the boards represent webmasters trying to find ways to boost their traffic and/or sales by similarly small percentages.
If someone is concerned enough to want to find ways of boosting their traffic/income by a point here and a couple of points there, then logically they should be just as concerned about anything which works against them to a similar degree.
