No one stops to think how a program can offer such a high payout and it comes back to the old saying of 'if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is' but nobody sees that because they get dazzled with dollar signs.

The problem with that (and revshare programs) - is this. (And someone else made the same point in this thread.)
Just because you remove the motivation for shaving (ie, paying webmasters more than the signup is worth causes shaving) - doesn't mean they won't shave.
So, Sponsor A could say "We pay $25 because that's all we can afford to pay without shaving, we're honest" - there's still nothing to stop them padding their bottom line by shaving.
Same with Revshare, just because there's no motivation for them to shave, doesn't mean they will. A crook is a crook, they will steal whether they have to or not.
The problem is not the competition - it's the crooks. Get rid of them and the problem goes away.
That won't happen until these companies open themselves up for regular financial and software audits, and that just ain't gonna happen.. Too many "just hit delete" and "it's all about the bottom line" people.
If you want to do something about it, simply don't do biz with shavers. Start your own niche site. Send it to your buddies niche site, just don't send the big shavers your traffic.
