To me, that's the most backwards horseshit ever, and they are NOT the first people to do this.
This wasn't Pat's fault, guy actually went to bat for me and tried to get me some kind of deal but ownership wouldn't go for it.
I have NO traffic to send to myself let alone anyone else. I am not a porn program, I am trying to sell a product to your members. The logic escapes me and has for the last 1700 days.

Traffic trades is very common and have been done for years.
Upsale traffic is pure gold, you as the person having the upsale product and the paysite owner know this.
What any paysite owner need to keep his gold, is fresh traffic without it your members base will slowly drop to nothing, so it makes a lot of sence to only send that traffic to people that will send something back, the calculation is not as simple as saying "my product pay $100 and my competitor pay only $50", also the spots is somewhat limitted to how much you can put in a members area before it starts to hurt the retentions (for the programs that actually worry about that) so you are not just compeeting with similar products but all types of products.
Hire a couple of traffic builders to build up a nice amount of traffic, that will help you a lot
Another reason could also be either people that is affraid of destroying a working concept or as AlmightyJim wrote some people tend to get more laid back once they reach a certain level
