If you ran a paysite and saw people talking about Flash "bricks" like us and seeing many sites using them would you give them a try to see if they make more profit for you? Despite your personal preference would you try different things and compare the results?

Do you wanna be right or do you wanna be rich?
hard to answer that though.... because I can't deny that I find 99.9% of flash to be extremely annoying. And if I find it annoying, odds are that the surfer of my fictional paysite would too.... so, I'd almost have to say no, I wouldn't try it. But that'd be based on the fact that I understand flash alot better than the average surfer does too. If I was clueless to the world of Flash, I might be tempted to try it out.... so in that sense, the answer would be yes. But more likely than not, I would go into with the frame of mind that it is a novelty.... not a sure fire way to increase profit.

No matter how you slice it.... it's still overcooked eye candy. And the chances of it driving your surfer away are probably better than the chances of it being the factor that pushes him to finally pull his credit card out.
