It is mostly a myth that marketing sites will not cost at least something. There are online distribution sites and dj's to where at least something might be made from it if one puts themselves out there with it enough for little money.
But then there is making a life out of it.

So it is pretty much what one puts in to it.
I like my independence yet like the market concept also.
What TAXI is is an outlet for that, at least from what I have seen.
Blaming them for misfortunes with it would be like being blaming all insurance companies. Of course they want the money. But it depends on where that individual is at with it too.

I guess I will find out for myself.
