My annoyance with this industry is the way it accuses others for not doing what it didn't do.

And for assuming driving traffic is the be all and end all of this business. When it's clearly not on their own experience.

How many time have we seen these type of statements?

Any problem with not enough joins is put down to not enough traffic.

An affiliate saying he can convert anything given enough traffic.

He can sell anything with the right marketing.

That getting content is easy.

That getting traffic is hard.

All true if taken literally, but not sensible. Except the last one. Getting 10 surfers is easy. Getting a sale from them is the hard part.

I guess after taking abuse from dwarfs for so long, now they are seeing their results of the way the industry has been run, it's time for me to point it out.
