I don't understand why you expect everyone to be equal in business. No idea what happened to Nicole, and no offense to her, but I'm not going to worry about what happened to Nicole. Sites closing due to whatever reason are also not my concern any more than it was my concern when Blockbuster and Fashion Bug closed. The reasons behind business failures are too many to list. Businesses close all around the world, and for a myriad of reasons.

And just because you put content on tubes doesn't mean you're going to make sales. Shit in = shit out. Toss up a bunch of random crap and you'll get crap in return. Craft it, spend time seeing what works and what doesn't, and you see results. Don't know how to convert what you get, you lose. Business is business. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it (like they used to do). But people are quitting because it's not easy anymore and they can't figure out what has changed around them. The easy money days are over. Now the herd is thinning. Some say it is a welcome thinning and the entry bar was set too low. Whatever the case, things are different now and it's never going back to the way it was before no matter how much we all want it to.
