Nothing really contradictory gigi, if you think about it.

Resellers have created a monster, with the help of their sponsors.

But at the end of the day, there's no real need for resellers. They could all be dropped like a hot potato and there would still be surfers looking for porn and paying for porn.

The price of a membership could become reasonable again if no one was forking out 40 bucks on a 3 buck trial.

As a matter of fact, I wonder how long 3 buck trials will continue.

Just because October 1 came and went and the sky didn't fall does not mean there won't be fallout from the Visa regulations.

As a matter of fact its impossible for their to be fallout from them before the end of this month at the earliest, since October was the first month under the new regulations. Reporting goes in to Visa during November, and then we'll see what happens.

Big companies will not continue to sustain fines and run their businesses paying out per signup, and at least one large revshare type program learned that fraud is not limited to per signup recently.

Every company that intends to remain in business is going to have to take a hard look at their practices and decide what's worth more to them, profit or number of joins a day. This isn't something I just pulled out of thin air either, I've talked to quite a few program owners about the situation and they are all looking for ways to return to greater profitability while staying under the Visa radar. And not all these companies are running on ipsp accounts either, as a side note.
