Honestly, I am glad to see the bar getting raised, and a thinning of the herd. At the end of the day, you find out who really are business minded folk who know how to adjust with the marketplace versus those who survived on blind luck for a long long time.

There is a grand canyon of difference shown on this forum, and within the industry, daily regarding those who know how to run a business, and think like it. Versus those who have never learned to convert a sale, or possess any level of marketing and understanding.

For a long time people could get by on pure luck and laziness saying, "Here is some free shit. You like? Sign up." Now it's a lot more difficult as free porn is everywhere. You have to actually HAVE something of value to convert a sale, and retain the member. You have to know how to actually convert traffic to a sale, and convince that surfer you have something worth purchasing in the first place. As many have no clue about marketing and sales beyond, "look at some free shit, now buy", they fail and cry about it on forums daily.

According to their logic, it's everyone else's fault but their own.
