The new grinding of skills with SP extractors will exist as a business. Can't wait to see it coming.
People that play free will be the ones to grind isk for PLEX.
I am not sure how this is different from now? Huge extractor farms exist, and lots of people play for free by using plex That is just too little to be significant.
What is actually changing that will cause more people to do this?

There are so many alt accounts that people PLEX just to have ganker, research, or trade alts and once the clone changes hit I'm guessing a lot of those accounts won't need to be PLEXed anymore, decreasing demand and driving down prices.
An Alpha Clone account's characters can only benefit from Alpha Clone skills, nothing more than the ~5m SP they're allowed will work.

Sure, there's nothing stopping anyone from creating the accounts. It's likely that Alpha Clone accounts will have a, albeit easily bypassed, limit of one per computer similar to what we have on current trial accounts. I don't think anyone will use them as miners due to the fact that they'll be more than 50% worse than a reasonably skilled Procurer. You'll be limited to four T1 production slots without the 15% time bonus from Advanced Industry, that'd get tedious real quick.
You can cover your PLEX with SP extracting anyway, and if that ever changes you could just let your subs lapse and continue as an Alpha Clone. I don't think we'll have any problems with Alpha Clones that people aren't already using 51 day accounts for, as the latter are superior in most ways, except the fact you need to create new accounts/characters every two months.

I guess 12 production + 3 research slots per account isn't that bad, but it's still inferior to profitable SP farming accounts with 10 of each, full time bonus skills, and the ability to build/invent T2 items while only logging in once to install jobs.
I'm not going to tell you how to bypass the limit, but it is trivial and easily searched for. CCP know about it and a dev even stated in one of the Alpha Clone threads that it's would be difficult to prevent all methods of bypassing the limit. Bypassing the limit only really has one use at the moment due to the trial skill and feature limits, but I guess that could change with Alpha Clones.
