I think how you fix the problem is finding other means to make money rather than having users pay.
The one issue with this is that it smacks of dot-bomb "Build it and they will come" thinking.
Although a few leaders will emerge, I don't think it's a viable theory for most start-ups. You're better off lowering your expectations and sharing a piece of a smaller pie.
Of course, VC's don't like that thinking too much.
