What Dave said: “Basically it’s bad economics to spoil a good thing for a couple of incremental bucks today, for zero total bucks later.”

regarding his observation that despite the growing amount of traffic
the NYT and others are generating from their RSS feeds, they’ll
probably not recognize those feeds themselves are ads for their
stories; rather they’ll start placing third-party ads on their feeds
and see their click-through rates go down. And then, they’ll wonder
why.)
