Users bring value to your site

The vast amount of information, research, knowledge, and experience relayed in the comments of the articles is over half the value of seeking alpha.  We the users provide that value to Seeking Alpha free of charge.  Now you want me to pay you for the privilege of giving your site value...? I think your business model is flawed.

Instead, I think we'll probably all just go to the next free site that understands how social media works.
