Agreed.. there is room for everyone.
AEBN is doing this because we want the press. Simple enough. The more people who are aware of the company the more business the company will do.
Anyone else who does a radio show through AEBN is doing it because it makes good business sense. I am not charging for the bandwidth or servers. It is free in the sense that no money is changing hands. However I get commercials run during the show for my company. The host of the show gets to keep EVERY dime they make in advertising and all they have to do is buy about $150 worth of equipment.
More shows are on the way. Some will be good, others not so good but all will be entertaining. In my mind it isn't about the live shows.. it is about the archives and their value to the adult community in the years ahead. More people listen to the archives than would ever listen to a live show. I wish we had archived all of the old Netpond shows from years ago. I don't have a single copy of any of those shows.
Archives live on forever and so do the commercials that are played on them. If I buy advertising on a board or resource it is only good for a certain amount of time.. after that its gone forever. Radio lives on and on and on..
