Wait. This is already an industry?!?
didn't know that. now, what does that say about (some corners of) our industry? :)
That really says a lot about the industry doesn't it.
Can't that be said about any industry?
Maybe the industry has changed.
I feel like you've pretty much described the entire industry.
Isn't that part "the industry" being what it is?
If you're unsatisfied with the state of the industry, do better.
