I am by no means in marketing, but it seems possible to me.

If you think about it this not only applies to the web, but other sectors as well. For example Sprint used to offer a great cell phone plan which included many free features for only $30. Now Sprint does not offer a plan that cheap and instead has increased the price for such a comparable plan. The plan was a way to get more subscribers, but with the plan not being available anymore I am sure people are now looking at all of their options.

I wonder how long it will take for advertisers to realize that many regular readers of popular blogs read content off-site and thus rarely encounter ads.
