How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?


Hi everyone,
Just a question that's been in my head for a little bit. How important do you folks feel this forum is to the audio industry at large in the Ensligh speaking countries?  I ask because I often see some taking it way too seriously, and personally.

I mean, I know times are tough, being a boutique audio manufacturer is not easy at any level in the audio industry, so I can really understand how negative buzz for your product can directly relate to your livelihood.
On the other hand, it's just A'gon. I doubt most audiophiles even come here very often.
What do you all think?

Best,

E

In the "soon to be controlled by today's young people" world, there is a whole new job category called "INFLUENCER"...meaning that if you can get enough hits on your page or site, you can paid, and sometimes paid well for bringing eyeballs.

One of the things that I notice on Agon is that it is more or less the same names, over and over again, that are doing the posting...so, in reality, we don't know the number of site visitors, how long they spend on the site and then how many of them actually post.  Agon probably does know and probably uses this data to try to "market" themselves to various industry types....as they should.

Oh, and back to my first point, when you click on an influencer's page, you are going to see photos and videos...which isn't happening here...so, is Agon influencing the industry?  I suspect that individual companies are influenced when they get extremely good or bad commentary...but the industry as a whole...probably not so much....at least not yet.
