I believe this is the little ethical issue Unseen is railing against.

It's not obvious to all of us that maximizing revenues is more important than being honest in one's business practices.

But there's a huge class of people in this business who do, in fact, think it's obvious that revenues are more important than honesty. This thread is filled with arguments from utility: namely, that the stuff Unseen considers dishonest is really OK because:

1) it works and makes money;
2) it's faster/better/easier than other alternatives;
3) it's the "only way";
4) everybody does it.

Those propositions may be true, but as arguments, they don't really come to grips with Unseen's ethical complaint.
ethical complaint? so we're suppose to just give away porn for free? free sites need to make money somehow, they need to generate traffic to make money.

its a way of distributing traffic to my other sites. i want to flow traffic through my system and the surfer wants free porn.
we both get what we want.
