You're preaching to the choir here.
But to be devil's advocate...in 2006 I had 1.2 million uniques of REAL traffic on my TGP's (no circle jerk shit), today I only have a few thousand (thank you pornhub and others).
So back then I could make a statement like you just did and the programs listened to me.
But now with my pitiful amount of traffic...why should they care if I drop them and blacklist them? Will they really miss my hundreds of hits?
Is it even financially worth it to them to pay me at all?
Those are my concerns. As this whole gets deeper and darker...what exactly does the sponsor have to lose from me if they decide that they've paid me well for the original sale already and fuck me out of future rebills?
It's a major concern to me. And even if I put together a coalition of you, me, every affiliate on GFY, plus The Hun, and Freeones...all together we wouldn't have as much traffic as Pornhub. Not to mention Keez Movies, YouPorn, YouJizz, and the thousands of other illegit pirate tubes that have taken traffic and sales from all affiliates AND paysites.
Times are indeed getting desperate. And it's unclear to me that my services as a 100% affiliate are even viable anymore. I'm starting to feel like a blacksmith, or a telephone operator...like my job is becoming obsolete.
