Sad but I'm surprised that there are still so many gear sites around.
Looking at our numbers, I can't really believe that there are many sites left that are financially viable enough for supporting full-time employees (and thank god that we didn't go there back in the early 2010s when this appeared to be possible for us). The revenue is down 80+% from those peaks.
The only escape route seems to be youtube. The amount of crap there is astonishing but many people seem to love it. Entertainment always beats substance I guess. Even so, we'll not go there. If the ship is sinking, you should go down with grace at least. ;-)
Till then it's nice to have a hobby.
