What the poll shows, if it is an accurate reflection of reality, is how dismally we satisfy the needs of our customers. The only reason to prolong the equivalent of pressure-selling aluminium sidings is because there aren't enough sponsors offering an alternative, to accomodate us all.
People made money selling sidings and people make money from the crap marketed via PPS. I suppose there is a theoretical chance we could be the first industry to make serious, long-term money, depending entirely on smoke and mirrors. But it is much more likely that PPS operators are wide open to competition from programs that offer something more solid.
Such programs may be slow coming because they require comittment and creativity. Were it as simple as high-quality content and regular updates, there would already be thousands. But some exist now and more will follow.
We may not make more money when PPS is finally in the past. But we won't need to question any longer when the bubble is going to burst and it will be very refreshing not to be always wondering what we
should have earned. Considering how many people have got rich with PPS, I think there will be surprisingly few mourners at its funeral.
