This however, was only a component of my post above.
Yes...we ARE old. Trailblazers generally are.

well ok - in that case it is not your fault but the fault of the content buyers.
here we have the same issue as with advertising. if people can not make money with their ads they are not able to pay much. so the goal here is to lead them to success.
the same happend with all those oldfashioned membership programs.
and i do not mean oldfashioned in content or exclusivity. they are oldfashioned when it comes up to find the people with skills in advertising and selling.
if a program is made only for those who want to see how big their paycheck is you will not get on such people who are ABLE to market this stuff still today.
so it is nothing else than oversleeping the time instead putting the nose in the air and smell what is going on out there.
I have this experience with a very old german programm what i tried to promote a few years ago. but it did not work because they did not have the technical solutions I need for that.
last march I tried it again because now they HAVE this options and it works nearly same as in the good old times.
and every mediabuyer that is sending traffic he bought for a lot of money on his own risk will work different as a webmaster who have not really lost money when a click does not convert.
if they would only understand this, their business model would still find customers.
