That is not good enough still though. May as well rip off the surfers whenever you can too. Charge them an arm load for sites that are not even worth a fourth of the fee, prey on their self esteems and sell them shit that does not work. Still want more? well thats also taken care of, just cross sell em, precheck the join pages, hide shit in the TOS and squeeze your dick deeper in their ass'es. Why should you care you are getting paid and will never meet these people plus if all goes as planed you will be retired soon anyways.
Need fast cash, well rip off another webmaster. Worst case is you can spin your way out of it or use fake info. Nobody will really care much anyways as long as you pay some of the people most of the time.

I don't disagree with any aspects of your comments.
But as shady as some folks are...there's also the flip side of the coin. Those of us in the honesty and integrity category also have to endure rip-offs such as chargebacks, transactions processors that don't pay up - jerks who steal our copyrighted content and splash it up on their pages to make coin for themselves, site hackers, password traders, etc.
The industry has always been prone to a lot of butt-fucking...its just the nature of it.
I recall years ago when I worked as a video editor for one of Canada's largest adult vid distributors. Some of the lowlife stunts they pulled on a daily basis were mind boggling, not only to employees but also their retail customers. And they always got away with it all mostly because there was no industry watchdog they could be reported to. And they knew it.
