It's really pretty simple, if a particular promotion or business model does not work for you, don't use it. Move on.

My experiences are different than yours, vice versa. I will never shoot a three point basket, that doesn't mean that nobody else can. |
I think everyone knows that some people still do very well. But it's weird to watch the Bro circle jerk and the "head in the sand" approach when you even have both trade organizations and outside sources all declaring that overall revenues are DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. Someone asks why things are the way they are now. Well the truth is because most of the people in the industry are fucking morons and brown nosers.
No one admits being wrong. Everyone pretends things are "better than ever" right up until the very end. It's like a cult. And that's why it never gets better.
