- 6stringmerc 11y ago>Look at Craigslist's revenues. Look at what the newspaper classifieds' revenue was before Craigslist came along. We're talking orders of magnitude difference... they're not using their cut to subsidize journalism... If you want to support a middleman business model, that's your prerogative. If I want to support a direct-to-customer-as-much-as-possible one, then that's mine. I don't want to support a label, I want to support myself.
