It is the TGP1 model itself that will eventually spell the demise of TGP1 and don't think the big players don't know this.

Right now, how well we convert the Hun's traffic is meaningless to his bottom line. With millions of daily visitors, ad revenues, paid listings, et al, of course he isn't going to endorse TGP2. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right?

When will the TGP1 model stop being viable? At .2% CTR? .1%? .01%? Sadly, through it's own market saturation, the TGP1 model forces the accelerated eventuality of these numbers.

There are choices to be made here my friends.

TGP1 can be milked until its death...(likely)

OR

ALL of us can try and look beyond our wallets TODAY and realize that we need each other for the continued success of this industry in the FUTURE (sadly, unlikely.

Is TGP2 the answer? I don't know. But panning it as just another failed attempt to topple TGP1 is really biting yourself in the ass. TGP1 will be the only thing to kill TGP1 folks, and don't think it won't happen.
Unless we encourage new ideas like TGP2, we will all be sitting here crying while the guys who made their TGP1 MILLIONS on our backs laugh all the way to the bank.
