Just because a sponsor orders 100k worth of content 1 year and $20k the next doesn't mean they are making 80% less money. I've known plenty of sponsors to buy assloads of new content just because they weren't making enough and needed to launch new sites to bring up their bottom line.
Maybe sponsors are happy with their library of content and don't need much more. Maybe they are shooting in house? Maybe they are monetizing what they have already and shifted their content purchasing budget to media buys. Maybe they are simply less frivolous with their extra money and are saving it like the rest of the biz's in this economy? Maybe 5 out 10 of your clients are broke cause their sites sucked, and maybe the other 5 are happily making a pile of cash and ordering more. I dunno, but I know for myself I'm buying content no matter what.

I don't see how you got that from my post, I was referring to you making a fortune of course, but now that you mention it, I know plenty of other sponsors I do biz with that are amassing fortunes regardless of whatever "boogiemen" people post about.
