Will it change something? I am not talking about OldJeff here. Just about shaving. People who steal 10% one day can take all 100% and quit.

I agree with you that someone who shaves may stop paying you. What you seem to forget is that someone who doesn't shave also may stop paying you. I don't recall Epassporte 'shaving' anyone. I'm pretty sure 'Enron' never shaved anyone. On the other hand, I'd bet money that Meyer Lansky paid every person who worked with him more than they would have earned elsewhere.... I have no idea if he shaved them or not.
The list of people who definitely did
not shave and then went out of business (paying nobody) is much LONGER than the list of people who
may have shaved at some point and paid the most. That is a fact in every business since money was invented. It's the reason there are throngs of lawyers handling bankruptcy claims for honest companies.

Bottom line is you need to watch your money. Often. I am not saying your should blindly trust site owners. You also should not blindly trust banks, car washes, affiliates, or anyone else with your money. That being said, the way to monitor your money is by looking at the clear facts in your complete control. In the instance of affiliate marketing those facts come down to 'how many clicks I sent' and 'how many dollars I received.'
All the rest is guesswork, conspiracy theories and distractions from what actually matters.
