This is all just a way to get paid for spam (Score 1, Insightful)

Ok people... the only organizations who would be willing to PAY for the right to bypass all of the spam filters are the advertisers... the ones who have an ad budget, the ones who want to get their products in front of your face without being blocked, and AOL and yahoo just found a way they can justify letting spam through, and get paid for it at the same time. This is nothing more than them trying to get paid to look the other way... kinda like you grease my palms and I'll pretend like I'm not watching when you heist the jewelry. They seriously MUST think they're dealing with a bunch of idiots... oh nevermind.. they are... AOL users are mostly a bunch of brain dead computer illiterate users who have to have someone hold their hand to find the internet, and yahoo... we'll their users arent much more than a bunch of horny guys who want the spam anyway, so now AOL and yahoo want you to think they are the hero's of the day by charging people to bypass their spam filters to stop spam... in reality all they are going to be doing is getting a kickback from the spam people to allow them to bypass their spam and get right into your inbox anyway. Ok... time for me to shut down my free yahoo email address, and AOL couldnt PAY me to use their service. Now lets just see how long it takes the other players to catch onto the money making sceme and jumping on the bandwagon. Then it'll be spam is bad, unless you're paying us to look the other way... then its just fine.
