In Amsterdam I was tlaking to the owner of one of the very biggest site, who said.

"If you do not shave it's not worth doing it"

The explanation was, what they now offer to pay out is so much that it would send them bankrupt to pay everyone for every convert.
It has become a Dutch auction with every one offering more and more money at the top end, which is paid for by shaving at the bottom end.

Don't know if it's true, just it's what I was told.
But it makes sense.
