 An embarassing display
I'm so disappointed in Steve for stooping to this level. He's shamelessly plugged other items and services before but they've at least been related to personal development. This one has nothing to do with it at all. It just takes advantage of the captive audience he's built up. He will, of course, benefit from every referral through this article, which I'm certain will be substantial (27 links that include his referral code).
The amount of new content has slowed down on this site, and the amount of ads has gone up. Those pop-up "Content Link" ads are the worst. I think Steve's shifted his focus from growing his audience to milking his audience. This is a shame because for me it signals a stop of new interesting content, and from now on we'll just see ideas he's already developed rehashed over and over (when new avenues of revenue aren't being explored). I'll seriously be considering whether I should continue visiting the site, and I would bet many others will as well. |
