PayPerPost?

I spend a lot of time online, and yet until a few weeks ago I'd barely heard of Google PageRank, and had never heard of PayPerPost until today. Apparently PageRank changed recently, dramatically affecting people making money via PayPerPost. This forum discussion about the change is fascinating reading. For example:
Oh. My. God. Oh my god! I can't believe this is happening. I NEED to earn money with my blogs, I'm going to have to take every single opp I qualify for every day in order to keep up with expenses.

When I looked at the 21 qualified, $5.00 opps, I actually had tears spring into my eyes. I don't know what to do.

Via.
