For 6 years and maybe more everyone ignored the fact that ratios were climbing. They found all the excuses they could and ignored the most obvious one that customers were turning away. But it all worked and joins increased.
Then there was an increase in affiliates, then an increase in sites and then the traffic started to go elsewhere and we saw the results. The train hit the buffers.
And since then there has been thousands of threads with countless posts, blaming Tubes, blaming the changing market, blaming the economic crisis (even though the down turn started before), blaming the rip off merchants and blaming what ever else they could think of. Except for the one glaring omission. They never said the customers simply are not willing to buy what they have been buying for years, unless we can force them to buy.
When you lose existing customers from the product, from yourself or others, you know something is very wrong. Now the problem is getting us to face up to it.
