Personally, I would rather see a cleaner hobby with less people than a more popular hobby, but dirtier hobby.
What I want here is what I call "short to pain for long term gain". Yes, in the short term we will lose collectors and card prices may go down. The industry will need corrections, many of them in many ways. But I think if that happens, the industry will emerge stronger and cleaner, and the collectors and card values will come back, perhaps stronger than ever. And I think that process starts with public shaming and hopefully ends with the punishment of those who have wronged. There needs to be a deterrent here; awareness is not just enough. Some people need to bankrupt and be jailed. Other companies need to fundamentally change their ways -- like kicking out a whole submission when 20%+ of it found authentic, not charging on card value, or, better, spending more time (enough time) on the higher value cards - if a card costs $1000 to grade, you should get more time and better eyes on it than a card that costs $5 to grade. I have a many other ideas, but I will spare you all.
Bottom line, its better to fix things now and go through pains, then kick it on down the line and feel bigger pains later. And fixing things now is significantly advanced by press coverage, especially negative coverage towards those who are responsible for all this.
