Stop making shit sites. Then you won't have problems selling them.
Exactly, Lars idea only works if you don't have to buy content, you already have it. wellthen why do magazines and video companies that have warehouses full of content keep buying and producing more?

This idea will only work for a few who are doing it as an upsell to a bigger site. But no one has addressed the big problem and reason it will never work.

THE WAY WE COLLECT OUR PAYMENTS.

If this idea took off as mainstream we would soon find payment processors, whether you have a merchant account or not, would be setting minimum charges of around $3.00 per transaction. Then the idea is dead, you are now running a paysite, hosting and B/W on $2 a member.
