Get this clear, sending traffic to paysites will not be the same in 10 years or even 5 years. Yes the product is being devalued, just like TV shows that are available for free online. Revenue streams are changing, business models are evolving and everyone that is stuck reminiscing about the past will be left in the fucking dust.
I understand but my point is that the revenue under the new model is less than the revenue under the old. I think that's a very big point. It's really a rather stupid move on the part of anyone with something to lose in the industry.
