For years I have watched companies spend their way into oblivion on stuff that was completely unprofitable while thinking that what they were doing was absolutely necessary to be in biz. Going after affiliates for example, spending Y to get less than X in profits until the program folds... then blaming the tubes or the piracy or whatever.

First of all, ruseful hasn't given any information in this thread. Nor has be given a number of how much it cost him to do what he did. He also was never a newcomer. And both of you launched your programs 10 years ago and have 10 years experience and you dont understand why you may think its easy for newcomers?
Do you know how easy it is to launch 5-10 years ago? Do you know how easy it is to maintain that and have that ease of learning at a slow pace and cushion?
If you think launching in 2013 with no prior experience isn't hard and unlikely to the average webmaster. I just dont know what to say.
