Knowing hosting economics as I do, I have known all along that even these high volume accounts produce little margin to coincide what is usually very high spend. If any large volume of customers would have been driven to move away from any such hosts, these providers would have collapsed financially. It could have helped, perhaps worked.
After much time and effort reaching out to competitor hosts, many of which didn't even host tube sites yet, not a single one would make the same public declaration. I can't be an army of one on all fronts. In the final analysis, the decision was made to not actively seek such business but to manage it responsibly along with all other clientele that we serve.

this doesn't make sense if you were taking a stand, and were offering a price that was comparable with your competitors would all those programs bitching about the tubes flock to you
being the only host to make the stand should have been a competitive advantage not a disadvantage.
