The thing is, while the practices Cunningstunt outlined have been going on for years it seems like things have "ratcheted up" over the past 1 1/2 - 2 years. Bad economy? New CC regs? No more x-sells/cross-sells? Whatever, it does seem like programs are out to "steal" affiliates mojo in a super-charged way these days. I can see how you would get sick of "the battle" Stunt.
And those who say - not me, but others - "well, start your own damn program and do the same..." aren't taking into consideration what goes into starting (and running) an AP, not to mention that "joining the thieves" just increases the downward spiral for the Industry as a whole. Shit, don't you think if super-affiliates like Mr. Stunt wanted this type of business model he would've done so long, long ago?
No, best advice mate: save your $, invest in mainstream, get out of adult ASAP. Live a happier life.
