Content providers, why do we let them post?

[Simon]

We buy from a small group of content suppliers. Many of our newer suppliers were recommended by one board member or another here. And almost none of those suppliers post here (except maybe rarely, as GG mentions). Sometimes I think it does work against content suppliers to be seen as too eager/willing to have many webmasters as customers for the same photos.

...Content providers that open their own paysites using content they are selling to other webmasters.

I can see your point here. Nuch better to have a content provider who only speaks when spoken to and does not sell the content too many times. I like the ones who sell a set 2-3 times for $5 or better even less.

Content providers that open their own paysites using content they are selling to other webmasters.

And these guys are the absolute worse. How dare they try to maximise the profit from their content. The next thing that will happen is affiliates submitting galleries to more than one site.
