In ten years I've watched this industry go from something anyone could make a living from to something very few can make a living from.

Makes you wonder about the honesty of many who claim to be doing better than ever, what were they doing, what are they doing that's really special or how lucky are they?
Frankly, from what I have found, some are more innovative and open to change.

Others talk, and dream, of days gone by. Many content producers now realize to stay in this market, they must make a demand for their content, and quality or caliber. Most programs are not buying new. They are just recycling their old shit over and over so they can buy drinks for the "bros".

Some, like JG, go to the shows and drum up some new business. Others keep reselling their same old shit. Others try, whether full on or half heatedly, to market their wares, and bawl on the boards.
