Unethical to perform tricks you've figured out?

I feel they should encourage people to try and figure it out. This sparks new ideas and advances magic. The idea that anyone can buy a trick ticks me off. I feel that if money was not an issue as it is... Magic would never be revealed for any price, and people who truly love the art would figure out their own ways to do it. T11 and Ellusionist are ruining magic, by changing the focus from being smart and witty to figure something out to I have to get $50 then I will know the secret...
So now magics not "how do i outsmart the other?" like in "The Prestige" Its how do i get the money to buy a trick.
