"the internet" is not free.

You get a bill from your host.
Your host gets a bill from their provider.
Their provider gets a bill from their provider... They inturn get a bill from the electric company, telco, and numerous other companies.

even the end user gets a bill from their service provider.

as far as new developments. the adult industry likes to claim invention of, when infact at best, they created market for. vhs, dvd, various "internet developments". they adult industry may have been the first to make practicle use of certain developments, but actually doing the r&d, well they couldnt be further from. and the amount of concepts used by mainstream that started in adult, are few and far between. not industry bashing, just reality check.


to the topic at hand. i welcome paid submissions. as long as the list operators remove about 90% of the rules they have in place. most of which are to curb cheating.

if i am an approved paid account, i want to be able to use my paid advertising medium to it's full potential.

with paid submissions should come a wave of innovative and creative "free sites" and free listings. let's get away from these cookie cutter sites with cookie cutter advertising, which has become very ineffective, and get back to a flurishing industry, instead of a saturated & stale marketplace.
