I'm not going to argue about what is right and what is wrong, because that's irrelevant. I'm just saying that the people who are leaders in almost any business got there by cutthroat methods, and this business is no different.
Look at Microsoft in the early days, or Standard Oil. All of the companies those two put out of business had some sort of moral argument for how what happened to them wasn't fair, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. For better or for worse, that's just how capitalism works.  |
Maybe most, but not I. I've never scammed or stole from anyone in this industry. I have never used traffic from spyware or tube sites that fucked other people over. Could I have made even more money if I did. Probably. You can lose everything in life but the one thing that you can't have taken away from you is your integrity. As much as some people will laugh at that or think its stupid or cheesy, it only really matters what you think about yourself. If you (not you specificly) are the type of person that doesn't think twice about screwing people then more power to you.
Now its easy t o say when you making good money. If my financial situation was shit and somone offered me traffic from an illegal tube site and I knew i was going to make bank and be able to pay my bills... to be honest i can't say for sure that I wouldn't take it. I have never been in that situation. Doing it for greed just to make a few bucks more by screwing people, no way. Desperate to pay the bills and advertise on sites with stolen content for example... i guess we dont know until we are put into those positions. So I can at least understand why some people are doing it now, for what that is worth.
