What do you think it will be like when all the niche sites are going to be under the same proliferation of free content and pressure from an endless number of weekend webmasters. Its not just the sales for my members site that I am looking at I have sold every major companies products as well their conversion numbers are plummeting, no mater what they want to say to get new affiliates
Well, perhaps in your circle or where ever it is that you get your information from that might be the case, though from my own reading of boards, of discussions with many others who don't bullshit, that simply isn't the case.

I would suggest that before you make blanket claims of how things are, you should perhaps find out what others experience. The fact is, my business model has steadily increased over the last ten years. I know others who have experienced the exact same increase (steady that is) that put your statement into the false category.

As to the 'selling of every major plugin' I am not going to go there.

I would add that there are great many successful operators on this board, and they don't seem to be experiencing a serious set back or loss over the time they have been in business. In fact Lee has launched several new programs and they are succeeding and that is during this period of so called devaluation by free stuff. So I would say it isnt the free stuff making some not succeed, but other reasons or combinations of reasons.
