To learn from our mistakes would be a great start. That means admitting, "yeah, all the free content is primarily responsible for cutting our industry wide revenues" From there it starts to become a bit of a no-brainer. You try to get together to reverse that trend through intelligent action. You also perhaps try to stop the same thing from happening in other areas of the industry.
Or you can just say "Bro, bro" act like everything is fine and get mad at everyone who points out the truth. You can just come up with a bunch of horseshit excuses and cliches like "Oh people will pay for HD" or "Only those with crappy products have suffered". I guess that is easy to do considering we have had eight years of practice.

I am not sure how or where I have made more posts about tubes and being on the side of tubes if that is what you meant... and why is there even "a side" when talking about a site type? To me tubes are a tool to drive traffic and make sales, just like search engines are. But if you have a tool that is better / more productive than either of those tools, I am all ears.
I don't know what you do or did in this industry (sorry I am not a bro that has been around for ages), but all I ever see you do, is talk about how shitty things are and how sponsors are scamming affiliates. I don't see how that is enlightening, productive or even contributes in any way to anything useful for anyone - other than a hate/despair/cry outlet. Maybe you can tell me.
But I will tell you this, probably every single successful businessman, will tell you to not try to fight change, but try to stay one step ahead of it. See what is coming and ride with it.
To put it more simply: You can either build something new or you can build something better.
You just cannot reverse what has happened. This isn't politics. And it's always going to be to each his own.
But... You say you have adapted your own business. May I ask what you have done and what that business is?
