I think your definition of bloggers as "slave labour" is hilarious though. Slaves are forced at gunpoint to work. AFAIK, bloggers are currently not forced to work. And even "exploited labour" in third world countries, who work for $1 a day, are starving and have no health care. They work to survive. Most bloggers are making OBSCENE amounts of money in their primary income (by any historical or international measure), so you can't even describe them as "cheap labour". If they don't like the deals they are getting from blog networks, STOP BLOGGING FOR THEM. Or podcasting for them, as the case may be. It's easy. However I agree with your analysis of the instability of Facebook/You Tube-like platforms. Anyone remember Geocities?? Interesting ideas guys.
