Well I'm not sure what point you were making exactly, except that in your opinion creators don't matter that much.
I would ask you to consider a grid.. that is empty, that has only a basic avatar of male and female available, with no community, no events, no shops, no malls, no contests or groups, no offers and sales, no flickr feeds or romantic places to meet, and the list goes on. No content.
Many people have tried to set up new grids, and failed. We only have to take a tour in Opensim, to see how quiet SL could be without it's dedicated creators, and organisers. It is a busy day in Opensim if 20 people are on a grid at one time. When SL will have 50,000 people online. And those 20 people will not pay hundreds of dollars to rent a sim, maybe they pay $20 at most.
The reason that SL works, and makes a huge profit for LL, is because of the community of creators, and their amazing dedication to keep it working. Many creators not only create, they do their own customer service, they police their own content creation theft, they give advice to customers on all things, from how to use their products, to how to reboot the sim, or how to know when a LL glitch means a relog is needed. They are the golden goose that LL seem oblivious to, and are in great danger of killing through neglect. And it seems you have a similar attitude as well.. regarding the "irrelevant things" that I write.
