What a bizarre comment! You lecture that it's not art but business as if art isn't business too. Then you offer not one single solution. Indeed, you praise Lucky Peach then chastise them for giving away their content online while you block their ads. Seems to me you're the one getting the Free Lunch.

And then there's Google and Facebook. Google is thought of by most as a search engine, but it's not. Google is an ad company and a data mining colossus. A company that has the motto "Don't be evil" spends  its time spying on us more than Edward Snowden's handlers did (or do).

Anyone who saw the movie The Social Network will recall how hapless Andrew Garfield's character kept trying to turn Facebook into a viable business model and failing to do it. Facebook was cool because it had no ads. Until it became ubiquitous and now it does. And now it also data mines its membership.

What is your business model, DPilcher? When ad revenues dry up and the online public wants Free Content, who pays?
