I dunnno. Their margins have to be paper thin to do that. They have investors involved, 20k shoots, revenue is certainly down from their peak 3-4 years ago, even with adding additional sites. Lansky is now gone. You will see them cutting production costs down soon if they haven't already. They are super aggressive with missed sales also, I can see they are doing everything they can to convert sales, recently adding push notifications to their tours and being crazy aggressive with their mailers. I would assume they are billing $200k monthly across all their sites right now. Dont get me wrong they have the best content ever shot in history, and they've reached meme status, so I'm not knocking them. Im just saying, I think the brand isnt what it used to be and they are probably over leveraged - which explains why they raised the affiliate payouts and now have stopped paying affiliates.
