Maybe the folks that aren't in it for the long run haven't smelled the money.
I work with a lot of webmasters - mostly "newbies" (been in the business a year or less) but also some veterans. They work their asses off and don't see anything for it. Or the only time they *can* see anything for it is when they're getting $1 freeezinebucks signups, and they think "What's the use?"
There's a vet on my team who's been in the biz 5 years. She used to make money hand over fist, but in the past year she's made maybe 10 sales. Working much harder now than she used to, but she's not seeing any rewards.

The folks I work with don't spam, don't cheat; they just build like there's no tomorrow... and out of about 60 of them, I'd say only 10 are seeing any real return. The others are just hanging on hoping things will pick up.

Those are the folks who are likely to get out sooner rather than later - they've never seen a $1,000 check and honestly, they never expect to.
