I understand what you're saying.
One thing is for certain though, a trend of people creating their own content rather than purchasing professionally built content won't help Renderosity or other content driven marketplaces. That said, I believe there are always going to be things outside the scope of most home content creators for example look at something like a Stonemason set. While for this market sector it's quite expensive cost wise, it still makes sense to purchase a set like that rather than spending the long hours to create something equivalent even if you are capable of such detailed modelling and texturing. That is the gap where professional content will always be attractive to a large group of users. Where it is either outside of an area of expertise or it would take longer to create it than is reasonable for the intended use of the item. While the consumer segment may be decreasing in some sectors, you may actually find it's increasing in others and still quite large as a whole.
As far as DSvsPoser battle goes. Just because I like to use paint brushes with oils doesn't mean watercolours or pencils are bad or inferior in some way. A lot just comes down to personal preference, regardless of the differences in capabilities between the two. There is room for both platforms to coexist and for years the crossover has been strong between the two schools and really it is a little sad to see the divide growing larger of late, which is thanks mainly to the different development direction between the two apps. Which is as exciting as it is divisive imo.
