What a crock. They aren't getting the price they want, so they are stopping promoting them.
The cardrooms have always had a really bizarre relationship with pokerlistings, going back to when they started and their business model was buying Overture and adwords above the cardrooms for their brand names (and the cardrooms let them). Now the ratings and rankings are based on who pays them more, not the quality of the cardrooms.
Good news for everybody. It's never great when the cardrooms overpay one place and compensate by underpaying others.
