Okay.
It also should be apparent that many of these companies are no longer converting with their sites the way they used to. As a matter of fact, far less.

So what is the problem here? Much of the new content I see is great, well done and yet its harder and harder to sell...

But it's not about the paysite model per se, it's really about the kind of content being sold (saturation- niche saturation) and the cookie cutter look so many paysites now have.

So in the end you can control a larger piece of the traffic pie with tubes but what happened to the idea of producing the content which people love to buy?

What is the endgame? Mass production of tube sites that all start looking the same because they are the same because they have the same content which starts boring the shit out of people or...

The idea that content is still king?

The idea that being ambitious or a leader in this biz is actually sprung from the creation side and not from the McPorn side of the equation.
