They will adopt "tax system" i.e charge you only if you profit. They will charge you on withdrawl.In order to keep fish happy and stay longer.
and there would be no more wars, everybody would live in harmony...
(there was (or maybe still is) a site who worked by that principle.
There is a site like that but it doesn't have any games running, so pretty useless.

because there is an unfulfilled requirement: "no fish anymore!"

what is this site called? nobody knows even regs? if regs dont know then how fish can know? maybe this should be talked more on the web - forums, blogs, and people would know that at least such exist. Would be interesting to play even vs weaker regs, when there is no rake, which is huge at micros, it means vs nits,weak we could have good advantage and eventually maybe fish would find it.
But another thing - how trustable it is to keep money in it. Maybe that is one of big resons why people dont play.

Yeah, mostly zero trust, zero publicity and software worse than anything you've ever played on. Fwiw once when I wanted to cashout they wrote me I'll have to wait few days b/c they need to gather some funds to cover withdrawal. 
Not aware of any sites like that left that depositing on wouldn't be lighting money on fire. Pre BF there were a few.
read discussion at 2+2 about rake free sites and also there were various arguments. Still interesing then - how other companies big ones, who offer free services can exits and poker room cannot do same. Ok good example is google. It earns from advertising.
In the forum people wrote that ads on poker suck. So why ads dont suck in google site, email? We see them everyday and no complain, because we get free service.
Fish lets say dont like ads and they dont care about rake, so sites could let use option - default - pay rake or ads if we dont want rake.
Having your winning's taxed is even worse. The fish now don't have any idea how much rake their paying. When they win the pot its just 3$ out of a 400$ pot. And when they lose the rake got paid by the reg anyway. If you tax their winning at 20% they will know exactly how much they have to pay
As for adds, to compare google to pokerstars you have to be outright retarded. Pokerstars has like 200k ppl online while google has well over a billion. You need a massive ammount of traffic to make some serious cash out of adds. No way pokerstars can get even 2% of what they are making now if they go to adds system.
