Isn't that exactly what I said throughout this thread?
And here:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/55340

"In the meantime my little blog had taken off and was paying the bills.  Well, the miles I earn take care of the flights and hotels, but I never thought that blogging would be a career choice.  And yet for some reason it’s read by 300,000 unique users per month who view the site millions of times a month. And I have nobody to thank as much as my readers and the one above for having one of the more unique jobs in the world."
He believes that your thanks to your readers is way overblown. They're all here for themselves!

If everything you're saying is fact, and posting a mistake is always solely for more money, then why did I run this site for years without making a dime with no intention of it ever being a business?

Yes, it's a business today.
Yes, I had obligations to cc companies that I may not be 100% proud of, but did what I did to feed my family and made the best balance I could while keeping DDF as a place where people could discuss things further.

No, not everything I do or write about is thinking of greenbacks.  What a poor outlook that is.

there is nothing wring with running a business
but if you look at what you posted in the hobby days and what has been posted recently you will see a difference

I know that one DDfer told me that he put up a comprehensive post in DDf and it was pulled down by Mods because. and the reason that was given was "because CC companies do check whats on the forums. and that they would have issues with that post"

Look at that, he practices what he preaches!

I certainly don't think that anyone would say that the people who come here are in it for anyone but themselves, (IDK anyone who buys things they don't need, or signs up for CCs they don't want, just so that Dan can make a living, and yet he thanks his readers, because without them, the DD community would have never grown into what it is today.

He posts, we gain. We post, he gains. And we're all appreciative of each other for collectively creating a place of mutual benefit. (Which is YES, also a business - had to say that, or else you would have.) Doubleyou Tee Fitzgerald bothers you so much about this?!

Paging all drones, question for you. Why were the Chase recon lines pulled from the main site some time back? Was that for the benefit of the public or some communication btwn bloggers and chase? Just saying

The post on churning? Are you kidding?
It was pulled because it's a dumb idea.

I can go make a post on churning now and kill the whole thing within 2 months but what is the point?

Whatever happened to dan lkaf zchus? Or even simple asking before ASSuming?  I have a public email ya know.

If dissent wasn't approved I'd have banned several posters from this thread already.  I know many other forums that would have done just that by now.

Stupidity OTOH, that I can't fix.

Are you blind? Serious question with "no offense intended" as I just responded to you with this 18 minutes ago:

Yes, I had obligations to cc companies that I may not be 100% proud of, but did what I did to feed my family and made the best balance I could while keeping DDF as a place where people could discuss things further.

Ok so u admit it? Good to hear. don't make it sound like you were singing to this tune from the beginning. Here you have a clear example of something which is bad for your readers and frum people but you did it anyways. So you're just a regular person out for yourself who does favors for others on occasion. so do we agree on the final picture so we can lay the matter to rest?
