Lets say i am wrong, and they had good intentions...

PTCBox was in a unique position.

When you can say:
"From same owners as XPTO, open for 10 years"
That gives you a huge boost in people promoting it and trusting it like crazy.

PTCbox was a thing that will never happen again, unless ClixSense or Neobux opens a new site, or a real life company, lets say Amazon for example, gets into PTC, there is no way a stable, here to stay site will have the insane fast growth PTCBox had.

You can look at Nerdbux.
Just like PTCBox, the owners were also running sites for years, bla bla bla... What happened?
They came in, they grew like crazy and they went.

For a site to "balance between advertisers, members and the administraton of the site and keep em all happy" the closest you can get is open a site like ClixSense, a perfect hybrid between PTC and GPT.

The thing is, even for ClixSense to arrive where it is, it took it a long, long time.
We all love how profitable ClixSense is the past couple of years, but the first years of ClixSense under the previous Admin, or you would have a lot of referrals or would be a very little profitable site for members, with very slow earnings.

Also to open a site like that, one would need a substancial financial backup, some few thousands $, so probably if you have that money to invest, you are better off investing in something else more safe, so i really cant see another stable, here to stay, big site coming
