Whiners, conspiracy theorists and trolls (many who used to be affiliates) making nothing but noise.
Which group someone is I is mostly a matter of their own choices, based almost entire on where each chooses to focus time and energy. To a very large degree this is an effort based business not an aptitude based business. I don't think most people are lazy. I do think they are prone to distractions. Shaving, tubes, .xxx, and many other topics are distractions more than anything else.

again, no one is going ballistic.
However, if you feel you're being shaved, change sponsors. If you think all sponsors shave, do yourself a favor and switch jobs as you're not bright enough for long term success here.
I'll buy all the regular joins I can from good affiliates. The value is there. you don't run off good affiliates by shaving them.
Did guys shave in the old days? I'm sure they did. Do they do it now? I just don't see how its profitable. you keep good affiliates, you NEVER give them a reason to doubt you.
