Quick calculation (disregarding processing fees, chargebacks, things like that):
100 3 day trial signups for Ams. Teens x $2.95(cost per trial) = $295.00 total sales
50% conversion (say half of the trials convert to monthly) = $1747.50 converted sales
100 webmaster payouts of $30.00 = $3000.00 payout
$1747.50(Actual sales) + $295.00(initial trial sales) - $3000.00(payout) = -$957.50 (negative!)
Besides shaving, how the hell else would these companies be able to pay out so much on trial signups? In the regular world, if I paid a salesman $50.00 for every $3.00 item he sold for me, I wouldn't be in business very long. Why is it that people let this shit go in the adult world? Strange.

GREED.
Webmasters that sign up for 80% revshare or $50. trial payouts are just asking to be screwed. But from their own greedyness they ignore the obvious signs of shaving and fraud.
Don't like it? Start promoting sponsors that are paying out a reasonable amount that makes logical sense. Go with the sponsor that's paying an honest 50-60% that actually retains members and treats their sites like a true business.
Then there are those that say, "who cares if they shave, as long as I get my money". Bullshit. It's fraud, nothing less. If your sponsor is willing to shave your sales just to be able to offer you 80% revshare or whatever, what else are they doing you don't know about? If they're defrauding you, they're probably screwing their members too.
These aren't businessmen, they're simply greedy crooks running adult sites.
