Evil got me thinking about this and personally, I see smaller percentages to fewer good webmasters and a lot of owners closing their doors to the dreck. Any thoughts?

I said the same thing on a different forum and people were telling me most paysites/owners were paying 50-70% which at first I thought was unusual since I am an affiliate for 2-3 sites, yes the sites take time to write manuals and help there affiliates learn some of the business and also have private forums for them. But I dont see how it could be costing them tons of money because thats why were here...to market it ourselves. I think there will be tons of changes but for the better.
