You go too far when you use terms like "destroying". If we got even close, it would no longer be worthwhile for the cowboys so they would quit and the pendulum would start to swing back.
I agree that we are doing an awful lot to screw our own business, but if that is the topic you shouldn't restrict yourself to the techno-trix. Damaging as they are, they don't come close to the harm we have done with years of sites that fail to deliver what is promised on their tours, dubious billing practises, etc.
Plenty of webmasters will jump up to knock the spam emails, auto-installs, etc. But you have to wonder whether that is more because they suffer them than out of any real concern for the surfer. How many (well-known) sponsors would disappear tomorrow if we all stopped sending surfers to sites that were basically crap? Jeez... we still recommend them to each other
