I think the biggest issue is that people refuse to even consider the possibility that this pay-per-click trend isn't going to last forever.

It all has to fall apart eventually. The current state of things is little more than a disaster. The internet is ever increasingly becoming filled with more and more and more and more and more garbage. Not just spam websites who scrape good content from decent websites but even blogs with all their useless drivel filling unending pages of nothing.

I find it hilarious that adsense has created an army of people pumping out hundreds of mostly useless pages a week just so they have more real estate to drop ppc ads onto as if their current earnings/results are exempt from the most basic principles of supply and demand.

Even the thought of creating one useful interactive page, or god forbid a highly functional flash website, seem ludicrous to this army of ppc #*$!s as it would only add one page to smother with ads. I, for one, can't wait until this silly trend ends and all the get-rich-quick schemers move on to the next big thing and the web can have another moment of sanity like after the last big bubble busted.
