Well, after a bit more research, I've found out that The Wire wasn't simply a bigger and more public promotion to the concept of 'submit-a-trick' open to the public. This really does suit the name of the iTunes of Magic.
I personally really don't like this idea now. Now, Theory11 isn't just public, it truly is commercializing magic for pure profit as they get 40% of the profit of each sale. Especially since they are going to approve of all tricks, Quote:
Also, reminder about its rating system. Regardless of if one buys a trick or not, one can still rate it. What does that say? 1 person who submits a trick and gets an approval can get 30 of his friends to go and like the trick (or a 5 star review) and Ta-Dah! It's a wonderful trick now! So many people will buy it thinking that it's great. This is just like the YouTube bot situation. The bots favourite random stupid videos, people think that the channel is great, subscribe more, and those channel owners get profit. This is what one can truly call manipulation of their products, of their customers, and of the industry, being one of the biggest representatives of online magic. Well, I can't finalize on any thoughts until later on, but that's how I see it.
