And they pretty much dictate the prices they are willing to pay. Traffic I got $6 per k for 3 years ago I get $3 per k for now.

Yes. Exactly what I was thinking. The same will happen for domains, content, programming, etc too. Think of all the small and medium sized affiliates buying domains or scripts. Imagine all of them leaving the market. It's easy to see what will likely happen. And this forum too. Why pay for advertising when it's just 100 people trading X-sales and patting each other on the back? Affiliates and potential customers were why people bought ads here. Not much point when they no longer exist or are no longer profitable.

I agree. Though some will still be able to survive by being exclusive and vigorously protecting their content but it will not be easy. The thing is that as a whole this new model is literally pennies on the dollar compared to what we used to have.
