Point fingers and blame cross sales all you want, but those of you who are giving away tons of content for free are the true turncoats.
I do not offer cross sales (checked or unchecked) and I do agree that hidden cross sales are bullshit, but all of you who jump on the tube bandwagon are the ones who are doing the most damage by far.

Don't blame Tube sites for our inability to compete with them. If members who were paying for content are now going to Tube sites then the sponsors of those sites are to blame. And the affiliates who sent the traffic. Our short sighted greed is yo blame for the slow down of sales.
Because if a site that converts like shit, supports thousands who will not spend to get one who will, has the biggest mish mash of pulp content, delivered off slow erratic servers and all in a crap resolution is taking our paying members then we are to blame.
No one else, not Tubes, not the advertisers, not the affiliates opening Tube sites and not the members. Our inability to compete with shit has shown us up for what we truly are.
An industry that can only survive when it's customers have to buy.
