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.
