Agree with your contention, there are so many forum sites ran out of revenues because of Google AdSense, They were not able to generate income from the ads so the forum sites cannot pay the site members. That's a sad reality.
Why are internet forums dying?

Forum sites cannot survive without ads and Google AdSense. It is also a burden on their part if pay people money from their pockets. They are also having their personal needs and it is not their sole responsibility to pay people with their own money.

It is the same for Post Bucks and Trendri, they cannot anymore pay members because the revenue is not enough. Thankful, we were paid before PB was closed, and to Tredr members too, paid before it announced closure.
I think it will be unbalanced if we compare forum sites with social media, forum sites will pay for every comment and post made by members, while social media does not have to pay each member. Influencers and business people can promote their products not from social media but from buyers.Forum sites go bankrupt or have financial difficulties because of members who always want to earn money dishonestly, for example, copy and paste from other sites, create articles using AI content. So that forum site traffic is frozen by Google search and automatically earnings from adsense will stop.
In my opinion, RIF doesn't have AI content yet, because members don't need it just to make comments and short threads. After all, RIF is still new, and there aren't many members yet, while on other forum sites there are already tens of thousands of members, so it's very difficult to detect one by one.

You said it right , hoping it won't happen to RIF which is why we need to report right away if notice someone posting on Post thread using the artificial intelligence. We love RIF and long it stays for years for us to earn.
Based on this information given, this is more reason why forum needs to be in place and still paying, reason is this; As there are no much demand, especially for some companies, they have to do some business strategy that would attract customers, paying forum members is one of them.
Actually, all forum site admins don't want difficulties with financial resources so that it stops payments to all members. Although I have encountered many requests from companies to install their products, they often conflict with forum rules or requests for prices that are too cheap.
In general forum sites are not sites for profit, maybe creators or admins have a hobby of sharing and exchanging ideas, even though the admin has large capital but if the members are more than fifty thousand, then the admin will find it difficult to pay the members if the site cannot be monetized properly advertisement.
Well, it depends on my opinion. Currently, BMF has a million dollar income. So if you invest more, you will earn more. It doesn't seem like a good idea to create a PTP for fun Because you get into trouble and you have to change the rules every day so that you can last longer but in the end you will fail
There is a section in the forum where users publish their life stories. The manager of BMF also has a topic and updates it month by month. it is interesting. Read if you have free time

PTP forums rely only on the ads and the ads from Google Adsense that is why if there are spammers in a forum site, the payment will be affected because GA will not credit the ads to the forum site.
I agree with you. Perhaps, these are the two main reasons why PTP forums are dying. Of course, this is very unpleasant and very disappointing for the users because they have to move to other earning sites to boost their income.
