The Internet is changing, drastically. The old banner ad model is dead.

Planet Money recently did a story about how Andrew Sullivan is creating a paywall around his blog (or well media empire), which seems indicative of this. The internet will no longer be free, and I'm sort of okay with this, sort of saddened as well, cause I like the free Internet. I also believe that content creators need to be able to make content though, which means they need to be paid.
