Most of the old time TGP's, MGPS's have lost so much traffic their influence and even their mention at Miami was totally absent. Every program owner either has a tube site or are making one. Funny thing is you have so many program owners on these boards slamming tubes, yet face to face they are lining up to buy traffic from tube sites. And they all know that traffic from tube sites is a gold mine for them.

Our industry is changing for the better I think. Yeah less people have more control and make most of the money. But this evolution was bound to happen sooner or later wasnt it?
