Xtc-Xtc,
your views and opinions are very nice to be dreamed of. The only problem is that existing established TGPs took lots of efford and time to get where they are today. For most of the TGP masters, the income is the only income they have (yes, fucking small income from TGP, but still, some income).
Now imagine, if 99% of these would change to satisfy your idea. What will happen? The surfer will go that 1% that didn't change. The cheap fucker Joe who doesn't toss his CC will find his way of getting free shit, there is free shit online, and always will be. You will never make EVERY TGP in the world to agree to this, because...well,...it's just people, and people fuck each other over on regular basis to make cash.
That is why TGPs are bending over like you said, because there is so much competition and they want survive.
There are ways of making money with a TGP. Actually, profits from TGPs are mostly generated by other webmasters, not the jerking Joes. It's strange how it works. I still don't understand it quiete well.
Anyhow, just me
