I have to agree with this post. I didn't know those things were a part of the program. It is bad for the industry and it's the reason why Visa has clamped down and why American Express stopped processing adult altogether. It's the reason why Visa may continue to clamp down if things like this continue.

For those that are comparing this to working in adult are way off base. There is nothing immoral about sex and selling sex between consenting adults. Also those that think people should always read the fine print. Either you're joking or you're the 1% of the population that spends hours reading fine print on all the products you buy everyday - not realistic and I've never met anybody like you in real life.

APC content and sites are nice in my view. Original ideas and interesting concepts. I would rather see them payout less instead of paying more and having to cross sale members on things they don't know they're signing up for. But I know why they did it...people want to get paid $40 per signup regardless of the longterm consequences.

Jayeff already pointed out the hyprocrisy. Same people defening these tactics in this thread will be the same people saying these are the tactics ruining the industry in another thread.

This has nothing to do with the quality of the APC sites. Those are excellent, it's the marketing of those sites that we're not agreeing with. Sometimes good well intentioned people do things they shouldn't. Megapornbucks had tons of high profle defenders in the thread that revealed they scammed people. Were they good people like those defending said they were? Who knows. but nobody had a problem with their sites per se, just the way it was marketed to surfers.
