Yes, people will push a meh product, not do any ground marketing, do a piss poor job of communicating, -- and, from the start, not solve a problem or reach out to their customers in the right way -- then they will fail to make sales, and they will blame the "well-known fact" that people don't pay for things.
In the mean time, I'm making a lot of money selling things where there are tons of free alternatives. People don't pay for content? I made $40,000 writing & selling an ebook about rich web app performance.
I'm hardly the only one.
Lots of people would rather blame the market, blame the customer, or blame the economy than consider that maybe they didn't do due diligence.
I'll be writing a lot more about that in the future.
