Yes it would be nice if this were true. It would mean far better content in sites.
This thread is why there are so few offline shooters working online. They were all faced with a similar situation as us. Going online was fine if they had little to lose, if had had a thriving business that might suffer by going online, they might make a different decision.

Maybe Dean didn't have that situation when he left Hicks. Waiting 6 months and not getting all his work accepted might not be a route he could of taken. however he could of shot the occasional set when he had a girl that was right.
We worked into both markets. Online and offline. Custom clearly wasn't worth it
for us for others it might of been better for them. I investigated custom very well and did find some work, most of the offers I turned down. The reasons were simple.
They wanted us to shoot the level we did shoot for the price they were paying others who couldn't shoot that level were getting. The fear was if we shoot magazine quality sets for them, they might start submitting. Sites that didn't have a cash flow problem could of taken out markets, they could of done that with any custom shooters work. Thank fully they couldn't.
To say they didn't is just showing them up as businessmen. Selling a set they bought for $300 for $3,000 seems to be a great way to make even more money. They could afford to pay someone to do it full time for $300 a set and have no extra work.
