regardless, i do know this:
i run hundreds of non-trial joins every day, and these people that join, send emails every day praising our content, honesty of product, etc. i have to assume these people are still enjoying the online experience at least in some sense of the word.
how heavily involved in spam are you Odin (if you don't mind answering)?

Myself I am not toooo heavily involved in it. I make a nice buck, but I do it because I am trying to reach an aim, and I try not to make it my entire living (although if my aim fails, who knows). I am from a dirt poor place, and I made fuck all online until I started automating stuff to do various tasks and leave my links all over the place (not simply email spam). However, I don't particularly like the way I earn my money (and I am not some little idealist, I just feel like scum if all I am trying to achieve is a new car for myself by fucking others over).
The sad fact is though, it is hard to make good money with legitmate sites, and to take a step to the next level you need this kind of financial backing to make it there. I save and reinvest alot of what I earn (live as cheaply as possible on what I am making, and store the rest). As I said, I want to use this money to move out of this level, and into a level such as yours (not particularly in your field though). But rather a field where I contribute something worthwhile and solid, whilst at the same time making myself a great living.
