Semi-decent "writ" is not what we're talking about, and as far as wisdom goes, when in doubt, experiment.

Lots of people don't care about the text, much as you believe that offering a story to someone who wants to jerk off is a better service than giving them a nice little streaming FLV. Let's face it, we're not in a generation of noble laureates, and people are just getting dumber. Why do you think that your ability to type is worth more than 50 shitty movies converted into FLV with a pretty new graphical redesign?
It's just different ways of looking at the world. Yours a slash and burn, one time one crop sort of approach. That's fine, as long as there's virgin land.

Mine is a more settled agricultural approach. You have to give people a reason to want to be on your site, and to want to come back. That's stuff that has to be meaningful, that they can relate to, and image alone will not deliver that.

Incidentally, there's less and less virgin land.

Thats a stupid thing to say. A service may not be worth x dollars, or y percent of something.

What you're saying is quite simply that content is an afterthought, which is fine, if that's how you want to do business. Just, it's not obligatory.
