And a ONE DOLLAR trial that rebills in 2 to 3 days that is clearly visible and sends an email to the member is "shady" "stealing" "crooked" and "destroying the business" No fucking way.

As you say all those questionable methods became history. Policy makers stopped dialer abuse because of those idiots that made millions with them by ripping people off and that is what makes it difficult for many of us to find accepted billing solutions in countries like Spain and Germany who would be good for very solid revenue. Just because a couple of shady characters abused the system, it makes business more difficult today!
You say they send out emails ... but how do you know these emails arrive? All serious programs and billing companies provide links to a cancel page before they signup to inform a consumer about his rights in advance. Programs that don't do this and use fineprint on the very bottom of a page to disguise xsells are shady in my book.
Write it on top of the signup button and in the same letter size like the rest of the page and I would say xsells are fine for me as long as the revenue is shared with the affiliate if he is on revshare. Xsales that are not shared with a revshare affiliate are fraud against the affiliate because he chose revshare and not PPS!
