I don't think that anyone has said that commercial sites suck, me included.
They are there to make money, but have lost their focus as being communities devoted
to 3D art.   They should say that they are stores to buy products and nothing more. 
 
Commercial sites are more concerned about sales and marketing the products of other artists
than the finished images of others or using the products.  Whether or not you use the products that you
purchased is of no concern.  As long as you are happy and keep buying, then that's all that
matters to the commercial sites.  Tormentor and others have said this many times.
What I have noticed as long as I was at PoserPros is that merchants comment on images with their products in them, other merchants and friends in the clique(s).

This is high school mentality.

There is also a large group that will ignore you if you can do something that they cannot.

On any of the sites that I have ever been on, this is the ONLY site where administrators will actually comment on images. You rarely, if ever, get that elsewhere.
Most of them won't even notice your existence unless you are unhappy with your "purchase".
Then, they notice you for a brief instant.

Since I never bought anything, I was never noticed...period.

Many, many good people have been turned off from Poser by the people in the commercial
sites and their behaviour. 
They either quit or go elsewhere.
