I can see this debate is going to rage on all day, so..... Just browsing through the sexlist.com topsites listings, let's see whose all getting "ripped off" by the evil counter.....
I see Easypic in there. Never heard him complain about lost revenue to sexlist. Interesting.
Original Picpost, another big one.
Shemp. Ya, he must not know what he's doing. Damn newb.
Freeones.com -- hmm, I wonder who owns that?
Tons of well-known movie posts, freehosts and gallery posts too. Obviously all people who lack the brain power to see they are being ripped, right? And this is just ONE counter. There are dozens of popular ones in use out there.
Yeah, I think I'll take this whistleidiot's word over the likes of highly successful long-established webmasters. Sure I will.
