Paparazzi, there are a couple of points that you're missing, though. First, there are a ton of people who have hundreds or thousands of links that they don't have time to change or can't because they might get banned from TGPs, etc. FMAO wasn't making anyone much, so ARS had to find an opion fast. Now you're getting $25 per signup instead of nothing.

Secondly, yes, ARS is making some money in the deal. Maybe they are making $15 a signup, maybe not. Whatever. I'm sure they made a hell of a lot more money than that per signup before. If not, they wouldn't be in business very long. I doubt Platinum Bucks is giving them recurring like they had before.

ARS is trying to do what's best for everyone, and getting these signups is better than getting a few cents here and there from FMAO.
