If you re-read the post you'll probably see I also stated there was nothing wrong with that in and of itself. The problem was those who also do not think in the long term at all and consequently tend to destroy the industry in doing so. Destroying the industry you are in generally isn't considered a good business practice.

Then you make it appear as if, you can judge a program by the way it advertises or markets, less truly about what they are doing, and more on an opinion that the 300ish programs you select to promote aren't shady because you don't see it.

How do you know I'm not right? What makes you think I don't see more than you think?
If over the years I've evolved a system to not get screwed and have found that overall it tends to yield positive results then I would be a fool to not use it. I can't avoid all shady programs or see everything but if my criteria helps to avoid 90% of them then for me it's worth keeping.

To answer your question... Those groups of statements you made are geared towards programs that almost always pay higher rates and you did say, "no promoting a program due to a temporary bonus."

You asked me a question and I answered it briefly. That's a far cry from saying all programs which offer promos are shady. I said no such thing in this thread. I don't promote programs on a temporary basis so a temporary promo means nothing to me. But I still promote many sponsors who offer promos from time to time. It's just that I don't promote them solely for the promo.

On that... I just don't want to see a person lose money simply because they avoid a temporary bonus. Now if you avoid it on programs you choose not to promote that's understandable - if you avoid them all together because of the opinions expressed in this thread - you're losing a shit ton of money.
I'm not trying to give you advice - I'm simply telling you the way I see it.

After years of experiences people tend to come to their own ways. One of mine is don't do business with scumbags if you can avoid it. Someone isn't necessarily a scumbag for offering $75 PPS but if they have their banner at the top of Extreme Board to me anyway it's a safe bet!
