Does anyone else see it any other way?

Nope. I think you are right. What it is is that the people at the top of our industry lacked business education. For the most part the people who started the tube thing were a bunch of frat boys who initially had little or no skin in the game. Now for the most part these guys have all left the industry. They took the money and ran leaving people such as ourselves to suffer. They didn't care that in the long term they were devaluing the product to $0.
What we used to enjoy was huge profit margins. The price we could get was far above the cost to produce the goods. We were able to get away with this because our customers had the perception that the price of the goods should be around what we were charging. These days now thanks to these frat boys (who left the industry years ago) the customers perceive that the price should be free.
