We all promoted "good" dialers. But yeah, there were plenty that did exactly what I described. Thank God broadband came along. Or else it would still be going on to this day.
Also even the ones we all promoted that were "good" were totally misleading. They said shit like: "Speed up your internet" or "You need to optimize your internet connection to view this page" REAL shady stuff even with those...and I can't remember one that actually showed the per minute charges...but I tried to stay away from those links and not click them. One time we set up a proxy server in Germany to be able to find all this shit on links...it was a nightmare out there.
