That's a good point... and what a double edged sword.
If mass amounts of Affiliates, overall drive a base of the Industry - then it's safe to assume a fair percentage of them are scum and would promote scum too, driving that base of the Industry as well.
Question comes then... Would a bigger industry or a smaller industry benefit the overall Industry more? We can see which one is better for our back pockets.
Hypothetically, if we removed free porn/piracy, assume the Industry rebounded. It's almost a sure thing that we would see another huge spike in super fraud programs/people. So maybe a smaller, tougher, harder to make it Industry is overall better for the Industry... less attraction for the scum, thus they move off to easier targets, like apps.
