Part of it is I feel like I get enough enjoyment from the site to help defray the cost of hamster feed. > > StG This wonderful thing we call the internet has proven very hard to monetize for businesses wishing to use it for a number of methods. Sure if you are selling a product itā€™s pretty easy to make back the cost of use, but what if that product is ideas and conversation? Most folks, used to the advertising method of cost deferral, donā€™t wish to pay directly for information services. Thus the downfall of newspapers. Many have a hard time justifying spending any money when with a few clicks they are likely to find a free alternative source of what they are looking for. Therefore in order to support the things I appreciate on the internet I take advantage of paying extra for some services. I give The Dope some money, three online newspapers, a webcomic and an internet weekly television show that I enjoy. Until more realistic methods of compensating creators are realized this will have to do. I appreciate the content and someone has to help pay for it. The $50 a month I spend on all of these products is well worth the cost.
