Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

Not this time. Not anymore.

I've already paid for it. I bought a TV, a radio, multiple computers, and I pay a subscription (much to my chagrin) to access the Internet and the Web. And yes, I have looked into the cost of a single-purchase backbone, but it didn't work out in my favor.

    Well, the difference is that now you're paying for it by viewing ads and, down to personal preference, a worse product. With commercial interruptions, you're saying how much your time is worth, if nothing else. In any case, yes, that's worth it to a lot of people, and it gives niche creators power over their current or former bosses.
