They can write off that $8 investment and move it all to a subdomain.

If you are a domainer chatting on a domain forum, with a whole lot of money tied on in .mobi domains and posting up every link you can find to a .mobi site, then that is another thing entirely. "Real content", "no ppc schemes", this is all fluff argument we've heard many times before with .info, .biz, .us, .eu and every other failed tld.

At the end of the day we are all trying to make money from domains, either from resale or ppc. Domainers will fill names up with garbage content and ppc ads regardless of extension, at least with .com you can ride off the developers backs, with .mobi there ain't too many backs to ride on other than the backs of other domainers, and at the end of the day that isn't sustainable.

Very well stated. I also want to add that unless large companies decide to fork over big bucks for good mobi names in aftermarket then it's not going to affect domainers. There is a mistaken correlation between a new launch of a mobi site and the overall success of mobi for domainers. One does not beget the other.

Mobi enthusiasts need to build sites which in most arguments moves you into developer status instead of domainer. I would also argue any development in mobi is semi-wasted beyond novelty as real income is derived via fill fledged sites.
