I worked for free.

And while I worked for "free", I was a 50% owner of a company, learned the online business from the top people in the world, began making 6 figures a year on the side as an affiliate, and ended up running one of the biggest traffic TGP sites in the world for the next 10 years and made over 14 million dollars between 1998 and 2006.

That is what can happen for a motivated person who knows what to do when opportunity comes calling.

Yes, having the skills to impress the right person and then doing whatever it takes (including working for free) can definitely change your life.
Yes, ok. I'll agree with that. But a lot of the people here claiming things are better than ever are just lying. It's the same old happy "piss on me and tell me it's raining liquid gold" crap as been happening for years here. I've lost track of all the ones claiming things are "better than ever" for them (and how everyone else is just a whiner broke ass lazy fool etc) only for them to make a goodbye post that they are leaving the industry, selling out for $x,000, or whatever. A lot of these people are only talking themselves up. They aren't telling it as it really is.

For Ja$on he is a media buyer. He needs to keep close contacts with sponsors and tube owners. He's not going to talk shit about them because he has to work with them and he probably can't afford to be without their cooperation Instead he's going to say all sorts of nice things about the tubes and their wonderful traffic. It might get him some business or better deals. That's the way it works here.
