It's how morons and ignorant assholes who fell into positions handle things. I have friends in sales that are infuriated by their distributors. Why? Because the distributors would rather try (not succeed, just try) to sell 10 items at $100,000 each instead of 100,000 at $10 each. A few big sales isn't how anyone ever made money.

The chans and reddit should understand how power works. Be hypervigilant about shilling and what not (free advertisment) and take control in the advertising relationship. Look at the traffic this place gets, how they don't have the wherewithal to only maybe look up when someone approaches them and then ask "what have you brought me," I don't know. Actually I do know. It's because they're whinging little weaklings looking to make a quick buck but have no clue what they're doing.
