>, that the content the "gurus" on HN produce is far better than 99% of the shit coming out of WaFo. That makes quite the difference though. It's like comparing Jon's consulting thread to McKinsey or Boston Consulting. >Relatedly, it's amazing how quickly people on HN will dismiss the SEO and affiliate marketing industry. The opposite is also quite amazing too. WF is full of people who think they are running "real business", while making the most childish (and arrogant) statements and opinions. Also, out of those $6bn, majority is incremental sales for legit operations (mostly ecommerce, some financial services) through CJ, SaS, Zanox. Pills and bizops through Maxbounty/Neverblue are quite small in total numbers, not to mention pretty dissatisfying to run. My point is, it's not that much money. The holy grail "10k/day CEO" is just 3.6M/year. I'm sorry but this looks more like event budget than total revenue. What makes it particularly unappealing is the complete lack of predictability. I recognize your username from WF, so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
