Or there could be affiliate referral delay and you will never know you pulled in a whale. When that whale reaches a payment threshold, your referral link disappears and you never knew anything about it. But I'm sure that kind of thing doesn't happen in porn. We have known thieves posting on GFY all the time, but we don't mind. Live and let live, let bygones be bygones. So yeah, there is shaving going on, it's been going on, and will continue to go on. If you don't believe that, you're just naive. If there is a third party program between your sale and the credit card processor, there is the possibility of shaving. It's just not spoken about, but it is the elephant in the room, isn't it?
