From your perspective....if this were at the heart of your posts I would actually support you, empathize with you and be less harsh. But you do not throw the caveat out there "This is true of MY experience..." or "This is true for ME". Yes, sometimes you do say that but the overwhelming majority of your comments/posts are negative and general.

So again: what is your INTENT? If it were to just share experiences I would understand. But instead your posts appear like you are posting 'proof' to try and convince current or potential affiliates the reasons they should not promote paysites. From personal experiences we can learn a lot but from general "Here's why what I say is true...." examples are misleading and just 'perspective' (opinion) journalism. (From MY perspective - a paysite owner who started 4 years ago - sales are GREAT. Is this news'?)

So if your INTENT is to share experiences please do so because we can all learn from industry veterans. But if your intent is to dissuade affiliates from promoting paysites then I consider you the equivalent of a pot smoker who quits telling all the 420 smokers how they're gonna die, go crazy or get brain cancer if they don't stop immediately.

In other words, a fucking bummer.
Light up!!

(And make money with paysites woohoo!!)

It's just a fact that 90% of affiliates have left in the last five or six years or so. There is a reason they left. The paysite affiliate experience today is mostly negative, so guess what, when an affiliate speaks the truth about things they are probably going to have a lot of negative things to say. What else do you expect? There is a reason so many left and it wasn't because of me. Be real.

I'm not starting threads telling affiliates not to join your program, Mr. Peabody. I'm not following you around the forums and telling affiliates not to be your affiliate.

Don't be so threatened by someone saying something you disagree with. Because I post a news article does not mean you can't succeed. I'm not responsible for how many affiliates you get or don't get. That is on you.

My intent is just to tell it as it is. I don't think I've ever said that no one can make money in paysites as an affiliate. I do say that most people would be better off not being paysite affiliates and the money is usually not the same as what it once was. I think that's true. We seem to disagree. So what?
