The industry would disintegrate and cease to be professional and become mostly the work of amatuers. By amateur, I'm not saying good ideas by newbies, I'm saying mostly stupid ideas through poor grammar by newbies with sporadic knowledge of the content they're writing about. You'd see some work from guys who'd put their souls into the work, but they are few and far in between.2. Boredom. Doing something for free and putting in blood, sweat, and tears into it is a huge time committment that pays off only in bragging rights, if at that. Even then, unless the person is a really talented artist and knows how to do good layout, quality content will just look like a Word doc. Eventually, the people who put in the really good effort will quit, because they are going to efficiently use their time for other things and that will leave us the work of #1. Eventually those people will get tired and do something else.3. Content disappears. With no money in the industry, there's no money for maintaining websites, so content starts to disappear as websites get shut down when their subscriptions expire. The only place to get existing content would be community forums like this one that offers downloads. Even then, EN World needs donations and revenue to stay open. If that goes away, then these places go away.  Another poster stated that they would love to live in Star Trek where everyone did their best or worked their hardest for the good of humanity. I would like to live in that world too, but unfortunately, that's not the reality of any industry, let alone this one.</blockquote>
