So we have sponsors like ARS telling us that they can't "afford" to pay $35 for a $2.99 trial any more. Others are probably shaving to make more money, as the value of surfers has declined. I do enjoy the fact that ARS is up front about it, they rock, but...

My question is, when a company says it can't afford these "inflated" rates any more, what does that really mean? They're still in business, aren't they? They're still getting tens of thousands of sales a month and obviously making a profit, right? Or they wouldn't still be here.

Does it seriously mean these pay per signup sponsors are getting dangerously close to $0 profit per sale, or are they just no longer doubling what they pay us?
