(VIDEO) Are ethics important in adult? Who would you choose to be for a day?

[Mr. Plow]

This is interesting to me, because it's something I questioned a lot before I got into the industry. I think that it's no different than a lot of other businesses, in the sense that we provide a service people want and we provide jobs for people who need them, but some people in the business are ethical and some aren't and I'd work with them or not depending on what I thought of how they behaved, just like any other business.

Personally I'm very careful about who I affiliate with and I do my research, because this is a fairly underground industry and abuses can happen easily and I would hate to find that someone I was working with was really unethical. In a business where so many people work together but don't know each other and where so much content is just knocked up in somebody's basement, I think it's important to be careful. I wouldn't want to work with someone I felt would drown a sack of live kittens, ya know?:P

Yessir. The problem is that if you do any decent business at all, in any industry, you're going to cross paths with the kitten-killers. The question is: when you find one, do you stand on the top of your rock and scream that you've found them... or do you simply choose to send your business elsewhere?

Welcome to Xnations Doug. Good video and excellent topic.

Good ethics are a must, should you call a company out? Maybe, but I gave up on saving the world a long time ago. Word of mouth goes a long way in this biz...

Growing up, I always wanted to save the world. It was a great dream. It still is. It just takes a group of people willing to walk the high (and hard) road. I just don't know that adult is there yet. For all the people that say the days are long gone, it sure feels like the "wild west" when you look at the way some people do business here...
