And you can call it shaving or cutting, but when shit hits the van, and your boat is overloaded, first thing you throw away are those things you can buy new again somewhere else. In this case, your affiliates.... Internet is a very fragile instrument, often under or over estimated, and for sure there are people daily making choices between good and right, and those people are everywhere.

These managers who sell shaving as an " Dump your baggage to safe the boat " strategy do not have to work by definition for shady companies. The word shaving is now replaced by good sounding synonyms that sound acceptable and are sold to us in smoke cloud lines, we should feel better. Lot of sponsors play with their affiliates on that way. I dont border me calling them out here. But they used also strategies this year that actually cut in the pockets of the affiliate, and brings them cash on the long run with a higher result of earnings for them. I mean, I call it shaving, someone else calls is a Cut Back. And some people call it a budget necessary evil.


So your " i`ll draw a line between good and wrong " is just not doing it for me. You cant tell me Shaving is by definition connected to shady companies.
I see what your saying here.

There is only one problem with your idea here.

When you join as an affiliate - you sign an agreement.

The agreement is something along the lines of - You make 1 sale, and we will pay you 25$ - Or whatever the deal is.

Then the program owner "Shaves" or "Cuts back" as you put it.

So you send in a 1 sale, and its "Shaved" And your not paid for it.

That is not a business tactic, its called fraud.
