Consolidation is why we have less sponsors. The industry is maturing.

Growing up down here we had many different brands of convenience stores mostly mom and pop shops and just about non of them sold gas. Now they are almost all 7/11 stores and most are selling gas too.

I'll probably never make as much as I've heard stories of what some of the very first made but I'm making more then ever and they aren't making the amounts that are now legends.

I agree that many of our surfers can't buy what we are selling and are just useless hits but then BW is super cheap now.

It's kind of like the coffee drinkers at the bookstores reading for free books that are suppose to be sold. Bookstores are happy to sell them coffee. Publishers are less then happy but add coffee drinkers reading their stuff when selling advertising space. Same is true of the periodicals at the checkout line at the grocery store.
