Cross sales are part of this industry as for today, just as the whole recurring process is.

This is how we ( the industry ) make money now.

Surely, it's *theoretically* possible that cross sales or rebills will be f.e banned by the credit card companies in porn transations.
But then the WHOLE industry will have to change.

Nowadays, if an affiliate program decided to be suddenly far more surfer friendly, they would have to lower payouts and would lose webmasters and as a result make less money.

And everyone is here for the $$$$.

I don't have more knowledge than you, but this is my understanding of the situation.
Yup, I agree fully.

I'd prefer change though. I'd be happy if people that choose to play with their surfers / livelihood had less revenue from pre-checked cross-sales.

Pre-checked cross-sales being disallowed would force programs to produce higher and higher quality product which would increase their revenues.

It'll eventually happen.
