How do you deal with your most direct competitors? Do you coexist peacefully, or... well... not?
"Deliver a pretty hard blow" means something like doing something to them or do something so that others will do something to them that will affect their business?

That`s not a great way of doing business... you don`t want anyone doing that to you.

I don`t focus on my competitors... I focus on my own shit... I focus on making the best possible content and focus on how to present it the best way possible... Competition is a good thing. If you make good shit, the competition will help you because the competition shows how bad their content is compared to yours! and how good your content is compared to theirs! That`s why competition is a good thing... but... only if you make good shit:-) If you need tricks because you don`t make good content you might as well stop doing what you do and focus on other business...

If i see competitors that are working on a higher proffesional level, I let them inspire me to try to reach the same level or better.
