Personally, I just think it's ridiculous. Mostly because one tube = every file locker in the world. This site, and most likely AdultKing himself, makes money either directly off of tubes or sends traffic to programs that own or advertise on tubes. He's squashing ants and looking around at everyone to see if they're clapping while he stays carefully and completely silent about sites far, far worse in their effect on paysite owners.
It's also irritating because this dude has been heroing for 40 something pages while every overly loquacious nobody in the biz gloms onto this 'project' and pretends they're actually noticeable somebodies doing something to 'save the industry'. Same shit, different day. Heard it about newsgroups, TGPs, MGPs, then tubes, and it's the same cast of people studiously trying to pretend to be learned philosophers and saviors of 'the industry'. Not the EXACT same people, most of those particular guys are waiting tables or working at the auto parts shop now, but the same type of people. Do you know who's still around and still making big money from those days? The people who owned the tubes. It's not so much the campaign itself, it's the sheer small mindedness of it and how obviously it's not and will never be more than a PR campaign for AdultKing. A never-ending, sanctimonious, holier than thou method of staying on the front page come hell or high water. Markham and assorted others also mistakenly think they can get something from it, or at least be GFY fabulous for a while, or maybe they really do think filelockers are the reason they're barely scraping by lol.... You'd think GFY mgmt would be tired of seeing it by now. Normally I don't say much about what goes on here anymore, it's irrelevant, but irritation is a good motivation to post I guess...
