This is all starting to remind me of the old story of the guy and his hot dog stand. He was poorly educated but made the best dogs in town and he was successful enough to raise a family and get his son a good education. He had been doing good business for some time and then things slowed. His son, just graduated from college, told him he had to cut expenses. So first he cut advertising. Sales weakened more. Then he switched to fewer condiments. Fewer sales. Then cheaper buns. Then cheaper dogs. Then he closed his business as nobody bought because the product sucked.
