You're all irrelevant.

This forum is irrelevant.

It's that simple.

In a perpetually growing market, with perpetually growing demand, the vast majority of you, as always has been the case, are perpetually failing. Not because of who leads the market, not because of competition, not because of new technology, not because of which directions things evolve towards, not because of who "steals" what video, but because of you.

You are failing or have failed because of who you are and how you think.

This is a data and statically driven business occupied almost entirely by people who can barely add or read or even express a simple thought with any coherence.

There are few to no people left to respect in this industry
There are no companies left to admire in this industry
There are no achievements worth emulating in this industry
There are no innovations worthy of attention in this industry
There are no people worth aspiring to be in this industry
There is no more awe-inspiring ingenuity in this industry

There are endless places online or off to actually learn should you choose to. There are endless places to find successful people either online or off, who can both inspire and motivate as they pass on priceless information and advice and carefully detail lessons learned. GFY is not one of them. GFY has not been one of them for a very long time.

This place used to be an OK distraction and often amusing, now its just a bunch of jackoffs spamming their sigs, spamming their products, talking about trump, hillary, liberals, republicans, conspiracies and copy/paste news.

I've got a few companies to run and have no need for distracting myself by talking to, engaging with or otherwise mocking those who have nothing better to do.

Pretty much anyone i like has my phone number or skype id or email. There is no reason to be here. That is the case for all the people that have been quietly slipping out the back door as this place continues its downward spiral into an internet refuge for both the unemployed and the unemployable.

I have to set an appropriate value on my time and it doesn't allow for this place.
