Things are so much better now.

BBL, gotta make some bullshit tube sites and give all the porn away that I used to get paid for.
Seth you have to understand Doc sees the world from his side. He probably needs 10,000s of hits to get a sale. You need 200.

He probably doesn't have your skills to work the search engines and he can't figure out how you could possibly get 50K. So thinks you struggled.

He sees lots of surfers coming to him and doesn't dream they might be coming from you and others. I suspect his ratios are worsening all the time, yet he sees all this traffic coming to him and doesn't understand he's reaching the bottom of the barrel.

He sees the business world posting from home. I saw it working from a 3,500 sq ft studios and office employing 8 people. Same business, different views because of different positions.
