If you use one of these all the time are you decreasing your valve life?
Someone said that they go through valves so quickly?

I don't think you'll see that much difference. Obviously, running your tubes wide open puts more wear on them faster....and you can run them hotter with the BL without killing your ears...but hey! That's where the tone is! For most, its definitely worth any small delta in tube cost over the life of the amp.

If you're using a class A amp, you're already running them (your tubes) wide open regardless of the volume setting.....they always run full tilt. BL shouldn't make any difference....

Right. The tubes actually draw slightly less current when producing sound. Brake Light does not wear out your tubes.
