I'm so sick of having this discussion.....Paul don't you have anything else to do/talk about?

A photographer can take $150 guaranteed for a set and make $500/day shooting exclusive for sites like ATK....or they can "maybe" make $300-$500 a set selling it for $30 a pop out of a content store or with a broker.

But to do that they have to pay the model out of their own pocket and then hope to recoup that investment later.
It's kind of like pushing a pay per sign up program versus a recurring program.
I can get $25 today guaranteed, or I can "maybe" make $50+ from a sale if I'm willing to wait a few months and take the risk. I could also only make $2 from a sale with this method.

Most webmasters choose pay per signup, and I'm guessing the same logic is why most of the web photographers shoot exclusive for $150 a set.
