I can't overlook the fact that at certain times a significant number of publishers all report experiencing the same problem(s) at approximately the same time(s)

The stock market behaves in much the same way with bunches of people gaining at the same time bunched of people are losing. It's obviously a combination of advertiser market forces and some algorithmic changes here and there, but hardly enough of the AdSense publishers suffer at the same time to make it an epidemic.

If everyone went down all at once, to levels we couldn't survive on, it would be a mass exodus to YPN or something else which clearly isn't the case yet.

Back to Martini's original post, if it's going down for some, why do you stick with it?

Why not look elsewhere?

We know why, the competition pays even less!
