People are hurting financially and have more free options (both in adult and non adult) to spend their time online. Tubes didn't help anything. But they aren't the only reason. Anybody who says they are looks as ridiculous as the person who says they haven't hurt.

Good point, economy is down, thought we were recession proof, sales didn't get hurt the last few dips, but this time banks were directly affected and cutting CC limits down, got one I don't use much cut from 25k to $500 with no notice and never having been late.
But I throw that in with the billing side of things ie customers being less billable than before. For example look at your initial charge & rebill success rates now vs. 3 years ago. In my books that's 20% less willingly billable people than we could have billed 3 years ago.
