Now you work twice as hard, for 1/5 the return for the effort.

Give me back 2003
What happened?

I'll tell you. Lazy, stupid people fucked over consumers with circle jerks, diallers, card banging, hidden x sales, shit content, shit marketing, shit UX, spam, fraud, content rotation, bandwidth limits and general douchebaggery. We educated the market not to trust us, and they don't.

I was hanging out with David Blaine (clang) two weeks ago in portugal. Now, he loves his porn, and loves FTV and x-art etc. I told him a few other sites like that and he was saying that he just doesn't trust porn sites not to bang his card or give him a virus or something. This is the problem.

Funnily enough, after a while, the customers got wise to 'our' dishonest methods.

All we have to blame is ourselves. Sure, it's MILES easier to blame other things, but anyone with half a brain can see the problems we have now we made for ourselves.
