For the majority there's no money to be made in selling to end users any more. If there was this board would be booming with business posts. As it was in 2000 to 2008.
There's your failed logic again.

GFY was never a content producer based board.

GFY was predominantly an affiliate board. In the beginning it was so easy to be an affiliate anyone could do it by throwing up a web page on Google, get top ranking, make a lot of money. The reason the affiliate market failed, aside from tubes, is that it's more difficult for them to get ranking on Google and to make money. In order to be a successful affiliate nowadays you have to have a lot more properties be an SEO & social media expert, at a bare minimum you need to be very proficient.

The amount of activity on GFY has nothing to do with content producers, it's all about the failed affiliate segment of our industry.
