Aren't there still some people paying even for YQ-dump info?
But a scalable business model that is as potentially lucrative as a good, public blog? Not so easy to pull off.
They exist. My impression, is the price you would need charge to make giving away anything (extremely) useful is way too high.
This was also common conversation in casino AP circles. (though, haven't seen too much general talk lately, or perhaps I pay less attention...) Why would I let you know about a $200/$300/$500+ per hour play, that if too many people "jump on" is going to be shut down. What's in it for me?
The amazing thing is, that often everything you need to know is right in front of you.
IMHO, the lack of being able to monetise many of the travel/airline tips/tricks bores me. My desire to spend the entire year continuously flying is nonexistent.
