- I think what some of the shavers miss is how much it destroys the motivation to build revenues for the affiliate. In fact even the suspicion of it being an option for the sponsor destroys the affiliate's motivation. It's very easy, especially in these times, to say "fuck adult! They all shave anyway!" or to say "why should I put any more effort into this when the sponsor will only shave away my increased sales?"

point 1 - No, You were lazy and that is why you couldn't cut it as an adult webmaster and had to move on. No shame in that, it's not for everyone and is hard work. Just because you couldn't hack it does not mean that everyone is in the same boat. Talk to some people who have always made sales instead, you will get a better read on what the market capabilities are.
point 2 - How would you have any idea about programs or shaving practices? You have repeated ad nauseum that you haven't tried selling adult paysites for years now. So if you never have how does this make you an authority on the subject? feel free to explain that one...
