I know it's not nice to hear but it's always good business to put your competitors out of business.
Congrats, good for you. Focus on the positives and how you can use that to your advantage to make more money.
I feel there is so much opportunity to make money on the internet in so many different areas that it's just frustrating to hear the same things over and over every day on this forum. You may not think you are complaining but trust me it definitely comes across as complaining and ranting about the same thing 
To be fair, the shit didn't really hit the fan until September/October 2008. That's when the shadow banking system started to unravel and I started buying gold as fast as I could because I thought we where witnessing a repeat of 1929. What happened in 2008 took a couple of years for the full implications to be felt in the economy, most people where still in denial in 2008 about what was happening.
I remember pleading with a friend to sell his house and even take 5% or 10% less than asking price, he wouldn't listen. Now he's in serious negative equity, could have sold the house in 08 and bought it back in 2013 with cash. Wouldn't listen to reason 
With all due respect the point he is making is you can't possibly say anything with any authority if it's based on guess work or assumptions. The same way the only people who really know how much the major tubes are earning, are the major tubes. |
It's not really complaining as much as it is just answering the question or stating what really happened. I think the problem is more that some people just don't want to hear it. Especially people involved with tubes or people with affiliate programs. I mean here someone is trying to get a newbie to devote 100 hours of their life this month to send their sponsor program 4,000 clicks and I'm telling their potential newbie "Hey! You'll be lucky to make $20 from that 100 hours of work! Maybe you want to try something else instead? Everyone expects it for free now!"
I know I must seem like an ass to the guy who has his own hosted tube business or to the struggling paysite owner who wants affiliates. I regret that and I'm not purposely trying to destroy anyone's business but I'd feel like even more of an ass if
I didn't tell the truth. Maybe the guy asking is strugglign and trying to figure out how to put food on his family's table next month? I'm not going to bullshit and talk about how I do 1:7 with all the paysites I promote and I live like a fucking rockstar.
Ever since I've been here in 2007 I've had people telling me to shut up and not talk about things. I've had people insult me, mock me, tell me I'm wrong about the tubes or what is going to happen in the industry because of it. But the funny (or not so funny) thing is what I said would happen largely did happen. It's the same old, same old to me. Like I said if you don't like my posts, see the sig.

I'm not an ass. I'm just telling the truth.
