    Very well put Jason and I believe extreme close to how the majority of bloggers feel about the issue.

    Blogcritics (where I'm exec producer) doesn't believe that flat out paying writers is useful or efficient. We publish thousands of music, book, TV, concert, film, and DVD reviews a year, much of which is fueled by the lure of free review materials. So providing value in that way for pop culture-junkie bloggers provides value, in our view, to both our 1,700 writers and to our readers.

    Well hey, there's another angle. There's room for all sorts of business models.

    Ultimately, the market decides - if PayPerPost is providing a service that people aren't interested in, not enough bloggers would sign up to sustain it. But while I may not support PayPerPost directly, I support their existence and chance to give it a shot.

    BTW I'm checking out Blogcritics right now...
