I'd say the answer to your question is illustrated by the fact that
dhammer53 heard about it.
Same thing that the FT community gets out of ExpertFlyer. Lots of people on FT talking about it, positive reviews of it by FTers, and an engaged rep from EF frequenting the forums, helping to answer questions, address problems, and understand our needs so they can retool their product to better suit our requirements.
So, I signed up. And now I've probably gotten more upgrades on AS as a result of EF than on any level of status I've had.
The way I see it with
dhammer53 and his world renowned BRT ^ is that he does this out of love and not to lose his shirt vs a company making money off of F/T. I may be wrong but that's how I see it (and one of these days, I'll have my M/R people talk to his BRT people and get my tuchas in gear and make it
)

.....Probably page views/increased ad revenue?
That's what I'm hoping for but wondering if there are/could be any numbers that we could see now based on what's currently out there
