That is very different from "Hey, we need this affiliate to send more traffic so let's make him think the ratios are through the roof so maybe we get more juicy traffic".
If you can't understand the difference of that then no poll of public opinion is going to help give you the level of intelligence one needs to grasp that level of the obvious. However, I think you are just trying to reshape the entire point just because you know at some point you realized that you actually have no point. The question was originally raised because not only myself but others questioned what XXXJay because it definitely sounded like a reverse shave scenario, that's all.
If you are not sponsor then maybe you don't get the sponsor perspective that you have to take a sale from someone else that actually deserved it to give it to someone that does not.

It's really bizarre how you accuse me of insulting you but in every post you get these little digs in.
Here was my very first post to you about it in the topic:

It's better if the sponsor lets the affiliate know but I don't see any problem with so-called "reverse shaving". Think of all sales affiliates lose to tracking issues and watermarks on the content they promote. More than likely even with the extra added sales it does not make up for it.

Do you see the portion in bold? The very first sentence? What exactly did you think I meant by that?
Even then personally a sponsor can send me all the free sales they want for as long as they want. Just don't do it the other way around.
It's not greed, it's business. I'm not saying I demand it.
Sorry Mr. Peabody! This is it man. I promise.
