And many people who are quite young are extremely succesfull ( f.e GTS ).
But i wonder if you find yourself sometimes not trusting people only because of their young age.
I mean people who are 19-21.
Does it make any difference for you f.e if you are considering to heavily promote a new affiliate program, when you know the owner is only 20, because of the stereotype: young = irresponsible = > untrustworthy....


what is your opinion on this?

I would have to say it depends on their experience within this industry and not their age. I would trust doing business with a 19 year old so long as he's been around at least a year or so for example.
