I think some surfers would do it, but I think they're the kind who won't sign up anyway. Anyone with the insight to know about the "middle man", and want to cut him out, is probably going to be clued up enough to know it's available somewhere for free, if not know exactly where to get it.
Or to put it another way, if you're dumb enough to sign up to a porn site, you're dumb enough to click on any old link without checking it. The spread of malware, like the continued sales of pornography, demonstrates that there are no shortage of dummies in the world.

This whole affiliate nonsense about "oh no, they'll type in the watermark instead of clicking the pic" is nonsense. It shows the level of intelligence you're dealing with.

I assume what people mean here is not that they'll look at a pic and decide to type it in, rather than just click the direct link, but that a day or so later they're not going to remember some crazy blog address they were at, but will remember the short, memorable URL that was plastered on all the pics at that blog; even more so if they saved the pics.
