1) Still networking opportunities. A lot more non-sense on boards but I still get the 411.
2) It may be a deteriorating industry but my own business isn't deteriorating but rather growing. The car industry also sucks right now but there are still select dealerships that are doing just fine. Real estate sucks but there are still plenty of agents making plenty of money.
3) Without going into specifics, it is all about controlling expenses. Just one example ... I see people spend a lot developing new tube sites yet I can built traffic just as easily on a Tube Ace install using the default template with a homemade logo dropped in as I can if I spend hundreds on custom design.
I hope more people drop out -- it means more market share with less work.
