It not only hurts the free site, tgp and linklist owners but it also hurts the sponsor. And when the sponsor is hurt, we all hurt.

But after saying that, tube type sites look like they can work well if they are built properly. Snizzshare looks like it should work well. I would be curious as to how much money it makes vs how much money it costs. The biggest part of the problem a larger percentage of these sites don't seem to be looking toward the future at all.

I don't give a rats ass about the linklist and TGP business model. If anyone really thinks that the current business model will stay the same as more and more people get broadband access, they are crazy. But, this business as a whole can't survive if nobody has to join a paysite to get the content that gets the job done.

As a side note, I voted "No". But, I never meant my vote to mean, "Let's get pitchforks and chase these monsters away". My "No" vote was "No", I don't like the way these sites are currently doing business. With these sites growing faster than anything ever has, wouldn't it make more sense to educate the owners than to close your eyes and pretend they don't exist?
