While it's highly unlikely I would ever buy a 1DX (even though I earn my living with my cameras), I would read the dpreview review the minute they post it (same with a Nikon D4 review and I don't even shoot with Nikon). I'm always interested in how high-end gear performs even if I'm not in the market for one and generally feel dpreview does a good job reviewing cameras.

But unfortunately for DPreview, that doesn't pay their bills...

That's exactly what pays their bills - haven't you seen the ads on this site? That's what pays their bills. If people come to a site to read reviews of pro cameras, why wouldn't that be good for dpreview? What's bad for dpreview is when I leave to go read a 1DX review on another website...

Pay per view doesn't pay much. If all you do is read, DPreview will hardly earn anything on you. Apparently DPreview thinks (knows) that they will earn more money by spending their testing time on consumer models. BTW, lots of people use add blockers anyway...
