Not only that, but while complaining about free content is a lot like p*ssing into the wind, other aspects of our business can be tackled by individual sponsors, without the need for any consensus.

oh come on now......"ludicrous"?
and if you think the proportion of toothpaste samples are in line with the proportion of free samples of porn, i should be kicking around old toothpaste tubes and boxes everytime i walk to the store. free samples are great, but the amount of "free samples" of porn is what's ludicrous, and is what the real issue is.
consensous or not, tackling the free porn "giveaway bonanza" would help to settle many more issues if you look deeper. complaining about it is pissing in the wind, but doing something about it is not.
