I've said it a bunch times but you have to make breakeven grinders losers. That's the only way to sustain a poker economy these days and why bovada is the second most popular site worldwide(pokerscout is obv bs)
I play limit holdem on bovada and the only reason i make good money is cause my grinder friends can not possibly win with no rakeback. so they quit.
So the future is 98% rec 2 % pro.
The (main) issue with Amaya isn't rakeback. My rb hasn't changed all that much (Gold/Platinum).
Agree with your second point entirely, that's the problem. They say every time that they're going to reinvest slashed rewards/increased rake into promotions and marketing, it never happens. We're into April and promotions have been lacklustre, the only marketing you'll see is for Sports or Spin & Go's (the highest raked game).
Amaya borrowed billions to buy Stars brand, that's where the increased revenue goes. They don't care about poker, the Amaya CEO is on record saying that we aren't poker players, we are "consumers" who will play whatever he wants us to.
