...I mean as a general phenomenon.
It seems to me that once again, all these platforms like Smashwords and the like are just flooding everything and crowding it all with 'action' for PayPal and basically, well, just the ordinary old school banks, such as they were. And the 'trick' there has always been to flood the 'marketplace' to give no one in the actual operating market any market power and just extract fees.
Well I'll give you all one (more) confident prediction: the days of those types of platforms and the practice of 'fees instead of product,' as a business model, are over.
