Whenever one of us cries foul or points out where a program owner is shaving the thread becomes heated and long. Lots of opposition to us just posting the info and sharing.
It is threatening to some and those people try to make us feel inferior via trolling, name calling, asking about our incomes or making fun of it etc...
To a degree it is harassment.

I think what happens is this: those on the EPC side don't want to see other affiliates potentially lose cash because they are going on emotion and not facts. The smart, the super-rich - they don't base their business decisions on what they feel is fair or unfair, they don't take decisions that go against *them* personally (and by that I mean they don't feel wronged, that it's 'unfair' of the other person to want to maximise their income).
Then on the other side you have those who feel that it's fucking over the affiliate - I can see *why* people are up in arms, but that's because they are looking at it personally.. YOU are fucking me over YOU are stealing YOU are taking money out of my pocket - it's natural to want to 'fight' that, even though once you take all the emotion out of it, it really does come down to sending your traffic to those who pay you the most for your click.
Now, JT hasn't just plucked a decision out of the air - he has looked at the figures, weighed up what he would lose if every affiliate stops sending every click tomorrow, and sees that business-wise, this option pays most. It's no different to any other biz decision for an affiliate: do I get the most EPC from RUC? How much do I get on those EPC in terms of ROI?
What seems like other factors are totally irrelevant, but saying that, it's not a mindset to easily escape, so it's natural there's high feelings in this thread. As an example of what most people *think should happen, but the maths tells us something totally different, have a look at the video below. I hope people do watch it, because it's a great step in understanding, and realising, the potential that relying on maths rather than what you have been conditioned to think, gives you:
Don't just skip over it people, watch it
