Well, the event people have been predicting has finally happened. Demand Media Studios has all but halted the production of eHow articles.
In an announcement made last week, DMS said that it will limit the amount of titles produced for the site for the foreseeable future. Titles are restricted to subjects that hasn't already been covered by eHow.
Hmmm, titles that hasn't already been covered by eHow... Articles on lengthy, in-depth processes that are worth a lot more than $15-$25 a pop. I don't see many writers spending their time writing for DMS any more. The lure of the fast buck is gone.
