Exactly.
Anyone with a brain cell knows you can't stay in business offering free. Funny how a bunch of online dipshits, most with no business sense, keep talking about this shit like it's a business plan.
Here's a fucking clue. If you think this model can be successful. Go pitch it to the SBA, or your local bank. As them for a business loan. Explain how you are going to offer everything for free, especially the part about things you do not own the rights to, but somehow still turn a profit.
Once they are done laughing in your face, go sign up for say.... Business 101, and Economics 101. Learn how BUSINESS is fucking done.
How this online industry has survived with no business sense is beyond me. However, that is what you get as a result of the bar being set so low. Ignorant motherfuckers thinking that
giving away for free,
content they do not own the license to, is somehow a
successful business practice.
It's a fucking joke.
