I disagree with that when exclusively talking about adult traffic brokers who work in the community.
However, I agree with you when talking about large faceless mainstream traffic companies.
See, there are only a handfull of major adult traffic producers and by that I don't mean the 2 or 3 month sites that pop up and disappear. Now, almost all of the major adult traffic producers that work here day to day, we're not faceless, people know us. We're here and we've been here and we'll be here. Bought traffic in itself already has a bad rep. Partly because bought traffic doesn't come from the google gold mine, it isn't some great targeted clicks and it isn't really that great at all. It's cheap bought traffic and it's mostly not niched or sorted. many times it's redirected multiple times, sometimes from broker to broker to broker.
Another reason is because adult is easy to get in to. Throw up a site and buy some traffic. Well, that doesn't alwasy work so great for whatever reason. Sometimes the site sucks, sometimes the site owner really doesn't know or have the experience to manage it. Sometimes even the script install is fucked.
Couple any of those things with your "not so golden" bought traffic and you have a scamming traffic broker.
How many times have you seen that thread, but with a different title? A lot.
I just had one not so long ago.. the guy isn't in or from adult, bought adult (PORN) traffic to a mainstream site, and you end up with a scamming broker, huh?
Shit happens but I will always attempt to help a client that comes to me in a congenial manner. But when they piss with me, I piss back. I'm really not a very friendly or tolerant person.
