All this talk of solo sites being a dying niche just confirm suspicions I've had for years. I have to wonder however, why is there always someone willing to take on another solo model if this is the case? Additional income for the webmaster? Is it really worth it? Is it some kind of pissing war? Who can nab the next hottest model? Are there ulterior motives I'm unaware of?

I don't mean to be insulting, I'm being real here. If I sound bitter and jaded, I'm sure you can understand why.
Regardless of whether its on the decline or nearly dead, the companies left who are still very experienced and talented still can make a profit on it and if you can make a profit, you do it. Its always worth it. If its not as much profit as it used to be, ill launch more sites. As long as you have the capital, this is possible to do. You can no longer invest a ton of time into one site and have that be your source of income, you have to launch multiple sites and keep your feet moving forward (as a company), thats how you keep profits up. Thats why i shake my head while i look at a couple people partner up for one single paysite without a business plan that includes expansion. The profits are in multiple sites and continually launching and moving forward and reinvesting.
