That guys has actually had some interesting interviews. I have heard him on ShoeBitch's show, as well he has been in a few magazines. He has some new concepts, or ideas on a lot of things online, including dating.

However, what he's been saying for years has yet to come out as predicted. Dating is still a big money maker.

That said, and kinda taking a step back. There is not going to be any hard fast rule for the net on EVERYTHING should be free. Nor will there be any 'across the board' sweeping generalization. Online, like any business, does not work that way.

We see it now in online adult. Most mainstream porn sites are going to have to learn to offer more value or drop their price points or new technology because there is such an insane glut of content. However, niche providers can still command a premium on their content and sites.

That is just one, of endless, examples where there is never going to be one hard rule for everyone and everything online or off. Yet every month some new dude comes out with an article like the O.P.'s link citing the same shit from the guys before, or from last year, or 10 years ago.
