Assuming you're right, I don't believe the effect will be at all dramatic. The vast majority of businesses are not in breakneck, life-or-death, do-or-die competition. The vast majority of business do quite a lot of languishing in

If this is what they're doing, then it would seem to be negligible. The channels I've heard talking about this don't seem to be taking home any less money despite tanking viewcounts. Earnings are constant, but the numbers sup

Flat, closed-minded positions like this are why the USA is the only developed country that enjoys the privilege of regularly burying bullet-ridden children. We can have gun control. We can limit the damage that civilian weapons can do, whil
