I hear ya. I remember the early days of online in general and the bubble bursting. Also the version 1.0 of the internet going from free to pay and people back then complained, just like now, that people would not pay for shit they get for free.
They were wrong then. They are wrong now.
People who say that people will not pay I find where not in this industry back then, nor remember how the web was before say... 1999-2002 when the free internet started going away.... people had to PAY for bandwidth, and PAY for things they used, and had to SIGN UP for shit to get use of it.
The ad supported net. Um yeah, heard all this a decade ago. Failed then. Will fail now. There are not enough ads to support it. Which is why I laugh at all these article or posters talking about this shit. Already been tried pal. Doesn't work. The web costs money. Hosting, content, whatever... and you are going to PAY for that service.
Just like you see Murdock, and some of these newspapers starting to charge. YouTube will soon start charging as well for some kind of premium service. Just watch. A lot of things are going to start switching to this model within 2 years.
Time v'ill tell....
