100% correct. During the first dot com bust it was suddenly realized that Ad revenue alone wasn't going to cut it for many companies. Web 2.0 has done nothing but train the user to expect it for free and streamline it so that getting it for free is easy and fast. And now they are shocked that people aren't paying attention to advertising? Duh. Even TV studios are worried because with DVRs and Tivo more and more people now skip the commercials and they are making less off the sale of them.
It seems like every 5-6 years the web has a flush and reinvents itself. I wonder what will be next.
