Awhile back, I threw DH and GTS under the bus so to speak. I started a thread saying I was boycotting them and that everyone else should too, because of his decision to broker ads for tube sites.
I jumped the gun, and I should have given DH time to do what he said he was going to do, which was to work with those sites to use only sponsor provided (and personal user uploaded amateur) content.
It looks like the sites he represents are headed down that path, and I should have given him the benefit of the doubt.
I've been really frustrated lately by the loss of income that I can only assume is due to the massive proliferation of free content available, mostly on tube sites, and I guess I took my frustration out on DH and GTS.
I shouldn't have done that and I apologize.
Boycotting GTS over tube sites is like boycotting your local grocer for selling Clorox because clorox's parent company was found dumping toxic waste somewhere. At some point you'll end up boycotting every company in the world over something you don't like because they're all interconnected in some way.
A friend pointed out to me recently that it would be hypocritical of me to move my hosting to Ch00pa after what I said about DH, because apparently Ch00pa hosts some of the biggest tube sites. (I didn't know this at the time)
After some reflection, I decided he was right but that it would be silly for me to boycott Ch00pa, and therefore it was silly of me to lump GTS into a group of people I won't do business with.
They still may not want to do business with me after what I said about them, and I can understand that, but they deserved the apology anyways.
