it's all about risk vs. reward
I don't see installing trojans as worth the reward...
let's put it this way
would you rather have a mailer sending you 100 sales per day with only a handful of complaints or a gallery submitter who sends you 10 (if that) per day and always needs free content, bandwidth, hosting, resources, etc.?
let's say it's even, let's say you have a poor mailer who only gets you 10 sales per day and 3-4 complaints (believe me, I run true double opt-in mailers and I still get my share of odd complaints) or the gallery guy who sends you 10 salews per day and you now have to provide them more content, hosting and generally more handholding? The mailer, you give them the codes and creatives an they are off and running...the submitter needs all of these extra resources (and contributes to even more free porn on the Internet)?
now, let's say you are a business owner and the submitter(s) need more assistance and you now have to hire another program rep (or 2 or 3) and that costs you more money vs. a part-time rep who has to deal with the mailers (make sure they are running clean and within your TOS)...which path do you take?
remember, not all mailers are blanket spammers...
I think everyone should have their own email collectors on everything they build and start legally mailing their own lists...over time they'll see more money (if they do it right) than just submitting and praying they get accepted.
