Truth. The file lockers, card banging, and the crappy economy all hurt too but the tubes hit most people in this industry in two ways:

1. They reduced the income of most entities or at least the "value" of each visitor.
2. They hurt affiliates disproportionately.

Ten years ago 90% of the people posting here were affiliates. Affiliates left in droves. Once you take away the affiliates there is a ripple effect. Domains fetch less than before. Less people buying means less competition and so lower prices and profit margins. The same for scripts. The same for content. Some may do better but there is a negative trend overall.
