Sad. SO is the only place I like looking for jobs and I point to my Developer Story in every job I apply to. I think it's a clear indication of profits over people, and ironically, this will likely diminish returns in the long run as fewer developers and small companies use the site.

I personally don't use Stack Overflow anymore except for occasional references to things I've forgot. When I do I always glance at the Jobs section just to see what positions are posted. You're doing a great disservice to the developer community - the ones that lifted you up and made you what you are - in the short-sighted interest of profits. 

Community-driven websites that try to take something given in fairness for free and squeeze extra profits from of at the expense of said masses are destined to fail if they slight the ones that made them. [Quora][1] charging for answers, SO removing a beneficial feature for something none of us want.. I'll see you fellas with [Yahoo Answers][2] and [Ask Jeeves][3]!
