You would rather Torrentsite.com give away your video and make money from a dating sponsor, than allow your affiliate to give away your video and promote you. Why?

Paul, why do you bother even having an affiliate program if you despise them so much?
You say I hate them. You're wrong. I don't hate anyone.

Should the industry support a system that clearly is not working is the question.

You still do not get it do you Brujah. Think and think very hard about it. Think out of the box, think like a business man who is not under threat because he's following an outdated and obsolete business model.

The world has changed and no matter how many weaving machines the Luddites smashed they still could not stop progress. Get with tomorrows program and move away from yesterdays.

Have you ever thought the free traffic the Torrent sites send helps me to pay out and support my affiliates to the tune of 60%? Or is that too much free thinking?

Get a calculator out and work out the costs of a site signing up 1,000 a month. Everything, including the costs of affiliates. The site to justify the price, the sponsor paying the processing fees, lawyers, accountants, EVERYTHING.
