I'm not sure I agree with the point that diallers will stop people using signups or clicking. Popup hell will pull banner clicks down - but a dialler (IMHO obviously ) would only succeed in stopping the person who used it from using another dialler. The two types of program are totally different beasts.

Regarding the free porn point I certainly agree to an extent with the point about the amount of free porn being a problem. However there are a few points here that haven't really been raised -
Firstly, it's easy to say it should stop and we're fools for keep submitting etc, however it's still very much true that if you don't then some other bugger will. It may be a shitty way to make money but you can't afford to ignore it as a tool as long as it's there and as long as you use it it will be there. It's a catch 22 situation with no real way out. The only alternative is to find other ways but it is tough to beat the lure of free porn to get the punters in.

OK, it's harder to get signups. However I believe this has a much to do with the amount of people now trying to sell porn rather than the amount of free stuff about. Let's be honest about this - on the whole free porn is crap. At best it's usually a couple of dozen (often 'grainy') pics of the same couple in almost the same pose. A pay site can still offer far more and for anyone into porn in a serious way is the only option.

Free porn may be a pain but is with us for the duration.
