live shows like american idol still have massive market share.
the shift is to pre production revenue streams, or live interaction.
Sites that let their members interact live with their models will thrive while those that don't or simply fake it will find their business model starting to shrink, suffer or completely dry up.

Someone who gets it....the whole model is changing...in the internet age you cant really expect everything to stay the same forever...it just wont happen...how long do you even think the current model will still be viable? how long before the shift begins to eliminate the affiliate model altogether?
the people sitting around crying about "regular" montlhy sales will get left in the dust....the people who are changing the industry and working in ways that continue to be profitable will succeed...this is no secret...i noticed a thread yesterday about why old timers dont post anymore.....many of them are adapting....all the while the complainers sit at GFY looking for someone to blame for why they cant make a buck anymore.....the $$ is still here...most of you just cant see it.
