There it is for you.
A big webmaster in Holland told me;

"If you don't offer as much as the others, you don't get the traffic. Then if you pay out honestly, you pay out more than you get in. So shaving is the only way to make it work"

Basically this is what the guy was trying to say. If he did not give the high price he would not get the traffic, if he did not shave he would be bankrupt. WHICH WOULD NOT BENFIT ANYONE.
