"Would movies like Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes, Artifical Intellgence and all other movies this summer make the millions of dollars it will with out advertising on the free medians of media? Hell no.. "
-----------------------------
They don't show the entire movie on the trailer, just a tiny bit that's been selected to tease and taunt the viewer into wanting more and being ready to pay for it.
Free is a problem in this industry -- more on the webmaster side than the surfer side tho.
Any time you have an industry that has an entry level commitment of 0 dollars, you're asking for the rock bottom of the working world to enter into it, since just like mlm or other deals like it, people get attracted to the something for nothing philosophy and many of those people are going to make nothing anyway. They just screw up the business for the legitimate balance in the industry.
Why should a webmaster care that the industry is teaching surfers to be smarter and cutting dollars out of our own pocket in the process?
They get free content, free hosting, free advice, free food and booze at shows, you name it. Then they go out and steal more content, abuse the freehosts they use, bitch about the fact that the free content is stale and the freehost gets the best banner spots.
I'm not against teaching a man to fish but it sure would be nice if he'd at least buy his own fishing rod and some bait every once in a while.
