This is horrible news for ChaCha. They currently pay their guides $0.10 for every question answered and $0.20 per question for Top Guides. I used to question their business model, wondering how much money could really be made from advertisement on their website alone. However, for the past week or so they've been running advertisements for the McDonald's Monopoly game in all the question responses instead of a link to more information about the question.

But $0.03 is a pretty big hit. I wonder if they will take the hit themselves or pass it off to the guides by cutting their payments.

Also, Verizon sucks.
