GFY is dead, because this business is dead for the bulk of the people who used to post here..

GFY is a clear example of why trickle down economics doesn't work.


Before, the industry wealth was spread out among thousands and thousands of webmasters, program owners and service providers. GFY as the example of the economy was booming lots of traffic and posts. The wealth was spread out so everyone could get a piece of the pie, some larger some smaller but all could sit at the table.

Then came trickle down economics where a few big players managed to take control of most of the industry. Suddenly affiliates were no longer needed as the industry was now controlled by a few big players who squeezed others others out then consolidated their buying power which resulted in less service providers.

GFY Asa example of our economy came crashing down as those thousands of affiliates and service providers no longer had a reason to be here and the big players don't need to be here.. At the start it looked great, these big programs were pushing out $50 sales and all kinds of stuff, but it didn't last it was used to knock the remaining small guys out.

Now all that is left, is whatever people will talk about.. Which is usually political stuff..

The powers that be know if they kill the political stuff the board will be dead.
