Well, the thread is locked already.. well.. not unxpectedly..
I think it's better not to attack them on their own forum..
There are so many other places where you can do it freely..
This way more members might be able to contribute..
yes....but....if I were so far out in left field they would not have locked the thing down.
You need to understand that at the peak of the TE boom there were people that they were associated with who were selling turnkey TE sites for people to pay (something like $10K) for and step right in to be an owner. To say they never launched more than one is very deceptive on his part. Yes, they may have only launched one TE but they could also now say they only launched one PTC ....nerdbux. Do you see what they are saying? They didn't launch legacy and Dr, but they are promoting the launch....for their own benefit to their customers, ahead of their advertising customers(they are in the business to sell advertising are they not? Why not offer an ad deal to the members wanting to promote Drclix?)
This is the same thing a handful of TE owners would do when a new TE launched (BTW, I'll bet legacy is promoting this new PTC also). The top five or ten owners plus star marketers and advertisers would market the new TE to their membership and lists. So that could be up to 50% of all active TE members. So they take 50% of the first flood of joiners and the workers got to fight and promote what was leftover.
These guys (maybe the top 100 elite 'inner circle' exclusive email list) would make thousands of dollars and thousands of referrals off an initial launch and the next 25K - 50K people would divide the leftovers.
It was a plantation mentality. The firstfruits went to the plantation 'owners'.....always....and the leftovers went to........us and as far as they were concerned, never the twain should meet. Some people complained about the unfairness of the marketing setup and they effectively said, "Tough, if you want in on the spoils you can fork out the $10K it takes to start up a TE and then we
might decide to help you launch. Other wise, if you're not willing to spend that kind of money, you are not serious about being in business. Get lost!" The smaller folk did not have that kind of money like many of the folks in the PTC industry do not now. So they were consigned to the second (or third) tier of earnings
Of course, the launches got smaller and smaller as the internet got bigger and bigger. The market saturated and many of us saw the writing on the wall and left for the PTC industry where the playing promoting and earnings fields were more level. There is a reason most of us don't start a PTC, we don't need to in order to make money
These guys, in their greed, can't seem or are not humble enough, to grasp that concept
