You couldn't be more wrong. The equation is still the same, just the numbers have changed. If you look at your stats you'll see "X%" rebill each month. It changes from month to month, but when you compare them to prior months and then prior years a pattern emerges. Less members upsell and less members recur, but it still follows the laws of averages.
I do mostly blogs these days. I can tell you exactly what my sales will be. Every January traffic will dip slightly, and sales will drop - Christmas bills becoming due. Every summer traffic drops and sales drop - Starts in June, and comes back in September. However, this year surprised me - June was down, but July is turning out to be my best month ever. But this might be because I'm being rather aggressive about expanding my network.
