The people who really benifit from the competition are the customers. I don't see how more competition is good for the people already in this industry.

Variety & competition - There is already a lot of variety and competition in most popular niches, if in a years time there is double the competition how does that benifit the webmasters ?
Is more competition not going to result in a decrease in retention ? Surely the more choices that consumers have the less chance they will staying a member of a paysite. Why stay a member of a particular paysite and rebill for months if there is 10 similar paysites in a particular niche offering exclusive content for the same kind of price ?
better products, wider field of choices, and keeps costs down - Better products are more than likely going to result in costing webmasters more money to produce the content (not good for the webmaster again) If better products became the norm all thats really done is raised the consomers expectation of what he expects from a paysite.
Overall I don't think this is going to benifit the webmasters (us) Seriously though I'd like to hear your thoughts on some of the things I've said above
