For Those Who Hate Tubes ...

How many of you tube hating people promote programs with shady xsales, known to bang cards, etc?

I'll use a real-life example. At a show, I spoke to a person who is actively against tubes, comments in most tubes posts, etc. The person tells me that the niched paysite they have still does great, yet their free site sales went to shit and they blame the tubes.

Did anyone ever think that promoting card banging programs is making you lose sales? Who would visit a site again after they joined a paysite and received a bunch of mysterious charges?

Until the tubes directly affected programs, no one cared how billing practices could hurt your site and the industry in general. I've preached this at every seminar I've spoken on, even at this last Phoenix Forum.
