Seriously I can't actually believe there are photographers who pay for LR presets. When I read this post I thought it was a joke to make fun of that site.
If you all can't spend a few minutes to learn LR and make your own presets maybe photography is not for you. "Photographers" these days don't want to invest anything in their own business. Everyone wants EVERYTHING and NOW.
Why be creative when you can copy someone?
Why learn when you can "borrow"?
Why study when you can get a How To Become Rich" DVD
Why make your own when you can buy
Every other photographer is now offering workshops,seminars,DVDs, textures and other crap. Just last year they were on this forum asking to critique their first engagement or wedding and now the very same photographers are hosting seminars on How To Become A Successful Photographer? Just 3 years ago some of these shot their first wedding and now they don't shoot anymore and just drive around the country teaching seminars on how to Make It In Wedding Business !!
There are some photographers who were affected so much by the recession they couldn't book even 10 weddings.Knowing that, they teach workshops and sell DVDs because it is the only income they have.
Come on al!! If you want to succeed you need to work hard.If after 3 years of doing wedding photography you aren't making 100K+ then you aren't working hard enough!
People are still getting married and there are a ton of clients willing to spend 5,10,20,50K on YOU.

This was like a bear coming out of hibernation. A few months of quiet, then he comes out hungry, devouring those quaking in his path.
Oh, and you're right with what you're saying. As usual, I just wish you'd work on your delivery.
