I think the worst part of being ripped off while doing this stuff is that most of us I'm assuming cannot absorb such a loss, especially when you're sticking more money into than you can probably afford to in first place, for instance I traded a bunch of shit with someone and then that someone did not follow through on their end, which happened to me last year and that can that devastate any chance for profitability and not only chance for that, but disturbed entire release schedule too. I'm not doing any of this to "profit", cause I don't really think there is much profit to be made in the first place and that wasn't the core driver anyways, but I'd like to at least think I'm doing this with the hope to not lose money, to where trying to recover such loss is quite a challenge, that's the real kick in the balls so to speak. It's one thing to be doing this stuff and I think it's a good and healthy mindset to go into this stuff without the idea of profit making and it's another thing though to lose money where it effects entire operation, cause I don't think there enough disposable income to absorb those types of losses, not to mention how far it puts you behind.
