These sites and the whole culture surrounding them are terrible for online poker imo and it'd be cool to see them disappear. It won't happen though.
I wonder what it'd do to big live games if there was a big ranking list in Bellagio that'd say "Sammy Farha -10m" etc.

They're fun to look at, but you're absolutely right. I know at least one losing player who has quit PokerStars b/c he heard sharkscope mentioned in chat, looked up his own stats compared to others, and realized how Broke he was.

Ps: I have a few friends with quite bad sharkscope graphs, they just go there when they are doing well.
And if someone quits playing because Sharkscope makes them realize they have a gambling problem , then thats good.
