I can understand how people have 100% fallen in love with free information, but they have to stop and think about the fact that bloggers put A LOT of work into making a great site and most are not wealthy hobbyists.

So balance is key between extremely good content and doing what needs to be done to support that content through sales, PPC, whatever.

This is a big part of my “job” so I have to get paid or the web would certainly lose me as a contributor on this type of platform.

Draw your own conclusions as to whether that would be a good or bad thing. :^)
