Here are the facts in general:

- are any of the complainers going to push more traffic to me if i stay away from dealing with "questionable" others? NOPE

- are any of the complainers going to push more traffic to me for being such a top notch dude? NOPE

- If my business starts to goes down because I choose to do right thing 100% of the time, will anyone have my back? NOPE

- If my business is hurting because i can't pay affiliates $2000000 per sale, BUT i'm honest without shady billing and all that, will anyone care? NOPE

Look, no one will tell you how good you are when you're doing the right thing. But they sure come out in droves when the business landscape starts changing.

And the same people complaining are also the same people who 'all of sudden' put their honest views aside and choose a $40 shady payout over a $25-$30 honest payout. It's all just gay.

So Brad, you do what you feel is right for YOUR business. Because in the end, no one has your back BUT YOU. No one is putting food on your table but YOU. Fuck everyones opinion and stick to your guns.

You might lose a few clients just based on a difference of opinion, but you'll gain far more with your integrity, transparency and honesty.

Cheers Brad
