Like the ad-based businesses: this is just a spreading-around of "discretionary" income that originates from other sources.  When the real economy crashes, there will not be many people paying for "virtual" stuff.

One of the consequences of PO will be that people in the formerly affluent societies will be forced to re-learn the difference between "needs" and "wants".  Real wealth grows in Kansas, not Wall Street.
