When people like 12clicks, JT, and that calibre post, you stfu and listen because they know their shit inside out.
When I post, you bear in mind I've never made 7 figures in a single year.
When markham posts, you dismiss any 'knowledge' he tries to portray, and understand it's 100% opinion, and 99% made-up fantasy stats/numbers along with what amounts to nothing more than pathetic whining in order to get others to agree with him so he feels less of a failure. The man is poison to anyone learning this biz, and that's a measure of who he is - he'd delibarately mislead and misguide newbies in order to make himself feel better.
Kudos to The Squealer in that idiot thread, and hmm, reggiedurango may not be the fake nick of who I thought it was after all.

The analogy i used was basically like trying to deal with writers. They'll tell you how they earn $2.00 a word and are published in huge publications to create the impression that they are high paid and worth a lot and then neglect to mention that it only happened once and will never... ever happen again. Like someone that won at a casino, they conveniently forget about the massive losses... and talk about the win day and night.
I strongly suspect that he bullshitted his way into a few big content orders at the peak of the market, got ahead a little, leased an office, bought a car etc.. but that moment was both the start and end of his business as he just sold content here and there through his site and sloiwly coasted to a site, ending it all with his bargain content site and then ultimately trynig to license to tubes... then shutting it all down. He almost immediately started to launch adult sites (paulmarkhamteens.com) after he got online and tgps for trafic generation etc etc etc because he couldn't make much with content by selling it. Even though he was talking on forums like he was posting from his private island.
