I've seen this for years and so have most of you. Ever ask yourselves why that is?

I'm hesitant to talk about it in this thread given the person who started it and some of the people it has attracted but what the hell. Who gives a fuck?
It could be legit. Especially if you are doing a high volume. But it's also the most sophisticated and professional shaver type as well. A performance based shaver which "shaves the growth". It sets a baseline and then shaves any
growth over that in a period say 30-90%. A very sophisticated setup might also utilize "fake refunds and chargebacks" (for affiliates who cannot verify them). This would be the type of shaver a multi-million dollar company would be using if they would use any shaver at all. Perhaps with additional functions added in to try to find test signups or add in a degree of randomness while still keeping the shave. The advantages of this setup are numerous as are the possibilities. It might also have built in functions to relax the shave if it detects a huge amount of growth so as not to piss off the new whale.
People don't realize that there is a ton of money involved and it's not always going to be the old style "straight 30% shaver" of the past when it's in use at all. Anything is possible with the programming. Any programmer will tell you that.
