There are sites that every single sponsor has as an affiliate that have very questionable business practices that never get brought up. Why? Because they make people good money.
Our industry is notorious for turning a blind eye as long as it profits them. The biggest problem our industry has is if something harms the surfer they have no problem with it. If it harms their sponsor they have no problem with it. But once it harms them they get all pissed off.
I've looked at the situation. Tube sites aren't going anywhere. Long term the biggest ones will all move towards being more regulated. Not allowing them to sign up as an affiliate will only slow that process down. AFF and others will continue to pay their bandwidth bills and just because I turn them down for an affiliate account won't stop them from doing business. Shutting them out isn't the answer.
