Possible.
Even now I think there are serious misconceptions. People seem to think all the money is in the tubes, right? Since they have taken over and all. Well...
200 million uniques a day * $2.5 per 1000 uniques = $500,000 / day
$500,000 * 365 = $182.5 million
That's it. And that is revenue not profit. Now look at what was lost industry wide to generate that revenue. All this is right in front of our faces but we do not see it. It's a shame. If anything we should learn from these mistakes.
