My focus is not free sites and galleries, but from where I'm sitting, the prosperous and exceptional free site is a rare thing. (Those I like are infused with personality and quality content, which are the same traits I like in a good paysite.)

This might be the easy answer, but if you can truly make free sites work for you, then good on ya. Personally, though, I still prefer the control over your own income you get with a paysite. A sponsor could go belly-up or shave your income or refuse to give you model documentation you need, so I suppose the best bet there is to diversify yourself and don't put all your eggs in one basket. (Again, samething can be applied to paysites.)
