And I agree with you Paul that giving away content caused ratios to go sky high which caused the value of traffic to drop causing the value of domains to drop.
And really crippling the small affil. And thus hurting the entire industry.
You cant stop technology I guess and as soon as the first scripts arrived guys bought them.
Script writers really hurt the biz. Not blaming them as technology marches forward but no scripts, no tubes, or at least less effective tubes. And maybe traffic would be worth something again.
Eh it was inevitable some jackball would go, "hey why not just build a huge video site with everything free" Duh! And with them first few sites we were all in trouble.
Quick story you'll like. In 1998 I had a site with 10 pics on. I honestly forget where I got em. But I got a C&D from that well known content producer in Florida, Damn I cant remember her name but she was a pit bull about her pics.
I took um off. Somewhere along the line that "pitbull protect your content at all costs" mindset changed.
Thanks Paul. I am still a grunt so better get off to the fields a while.
