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.

Yes and no....
It IS better than ever for some. Not for others. But thats the way it is in every business at any given point in time.
And Im not a media buyer, lol. I have done media buying at certain points in time, but very little the last few years. To hard. Self serve platforms Like TJ have just cut the margins to thin (for my liking anyway) And just so you know, as someone who HAS spent well into the 6 figures a month media buying in the past, dealing with Tubes who's owners I was very close with....NOBODY gives a fuck about what nice things are said or this "bro" thing everyone bitches about. Thats just an excuse people give. One more reason THEY can't compete. Ive bid on 6 figure a month ad spots on sites owned by VERY good friends and lost because someone else's bid was 5% higher. Business is business.
Anyone who thinks someone is going to get an ad spot for $160,000 a month when someone else bid $200,000 just because the $160k bid is a "board bro" or tight with the sites owner is, way, way out of touch with reality, LOL
