Exactly. Here we are 8 years later and take a look around you.
Forget the discussions, look at the state of the industry. That's what 8 years of this has done.
Tubes are the new traffic source, things have changed,
I get it. I submit to them too (clips). But the number of sales you get from them now is just a fraction of what the numbers were before they existed. This is my point. I can't even believe that has to be debated. Really makes me wonder what some of you were wasting your time on back then, because it seems you have no real reference to base your sales on.
To someone who has no idea what real sales are, I'm sure tubes are the best thing since sliced bread. But if you do know, I'm just surprised you can be in favor of them as if they are a positive step for the industry.
Either way, Pandora's box is open. Only new laws or changes to existing ones will close it.
