Think of things this way.

All the sources of information that require a tax eventually become corrupt from the manipulation of what is true to extract more patronage.

The tax (required tribute) is a use fee. The value for value system is also manipulated but the goal is to get new users who were not able to get the truth anywhere else and eventually found that they are inspired to pay for a service they would not want to lose.

The value for value model also benefits from upsetting the status quo because the status quo who start thinking a certain way are unsettled by the changing events. Status quo leaves and new people replace the old ones meanwhile the producers continue to work for the reward of freedom, truth and voluntary patronage. Time, Talent or Treasure is the voluntary tribute.

Websites with walled gardens are always going to die. All websites die unless revitalized. Let them die.

Recently I turned down a job because I was giving out personal information to multiple contractor websites and I stopped. I said, I don't need this job. I told them that websites are hacked all the time and I just don't need their contractors so screw up, sell, manipulate or carelessly handle my information.

Let the idiots play idiot games and devolution do it's job.
