Great thread Sean.
For many years there has been a group of people in this industry that landed in the right place at the right time. There is no doubt the business has evolved into a real business.
For me the writing on the wall was similar to certain categories of software. There was a time when people paid for calendar software, now it's free so nobody buys the paid calendar software. This put companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars out of business.
I think the free line has been moved too far in this industry. I think the survivors will be companies like yours that offer unique and premium content, live content, or interactivity of some nature.
