It's all one big circle. Sponsors make money from consoles, mailers, upsells, members areas etc.. and it all adds up to what they can payout.
You don't run any paysites and therefore don't realize all that's involved in running a successful program. What you're complaining about is litterally something super minor IMHO and therefore you're leaving good programs on the table because of it.

I actually do run a few paysites and have never sent an email in my life.
The difference is that i am not paying out to affiliates though, and i know that can be a huge nut.
You say its minor, but do you realize how many potential buyers submit their email address now that they are reminded of "free porn" ? I cant say exactly since i have never tested a remote panel on a splash or tour.
I dont know you or your sites so i can comment on your experience so it is a real question, have you ever tested a panel on a splash and seen real results, and hard numbers that can be graphed to show how many possible sales are being lost?
or has anyone? i think it may be an impressive percentage, but again i am not sure. It just seams like an evil thing IMO.
