Maybe you're talking about the 1,000 who click on a link after looking at the samples. So how many consumers does it take to get a click?

What this industry has done is call a failure a success, and that's

Even 100 consumers and 1 buyer. it's 99% loss rate.

I accept a lot of surfers can't buy. but not 99%. And definitely 99.9%. I would guess a Tube site doesn't convert that well, with actual visitors, not those bothered to click on a banner. The fact that the industry ignores a whole sector of consumers shows the failure.
