Here's my $.02 to this thread:

1. Those companies / individuals that bost and brag the most are usually the most vapid, empty and have very little in regard to substance / content to offer our community.

2. The people in it for the quick buck are not uncommon to other industries as well; there will always be people with limited value sets and people who value honest business. However, it goes to the old saying: The candle that burns at both ends burns twice as fast. Individuals can only slash and burn for so long until there's nothing let for them and they're fucked.

3. Free content will never kill the paysite model. I've personally seen that when we raised our paysite price from $15 to $30 our joins went up. Even if the thinking is flawed, I think people see value associated with a price-tag and free content (even if it's better than paid-for content) just doesn't hold that same value. It's like when Lexus was just an overpriced Camery (back in the day) -- people still bought into the inflated price tag.

Blah blah blah.....
