Of course this will only apply to adult Torrent sites and advertisers that will spend money with us.

Again you are attacking the flow of cash to the people stealing the traffic and that's what hurts them.

I know why it will not work. Because the moment a sponsor tries to cut their payouts to pay for it and put more money in their pocket long term they will switch to someone who pays them 50% and $100 Sundays. Even if it's AFF.

and that is why your hair brained solutions will never work,
you need to find additional revenue streams that don't currently exist
either to replace the lost income or to pay for this untopian world you want to create

product placement
live interaction are the way to go.

creating companies which will lose money so they can screw the people who are screwing you over (while they make a profit) is never going to work because

ding ding ding they are making a profit screwing you over.

so they can afford to spend you into an early grave.
