Seriously why do we hate scammers? Simple question and the answer is simple. They scam us. But do we really hate scammers in total?
No fucking way, we as an industry love them and do our utmost to support them at every possible opportunity. We hate the ones that take money from us short term yes, but love and support the ones that take far more out of our pockets long term.
Think about it for a minute and assume someone you like is writing this.
Most industries selling a highly consumable short usage product will build customer retention within their company and in buying their product. Some products we buy without looking at the brand. Supermarkets, bars and restaurants are excellent examples of this. We have our favourites but buy in many.
This industry sells a lie, girls do not get in the back of vans and fuck strangers and this part of the porn industry has little problem scamming surfers. Think about why you send traffic to a site, is it because the site will pay out the most regardless of what the surfer gets or the surfer will like what he buys and keep buying porn on the Internet?
Selling a free join that rebills in 3 days for $100 so they can pay you is a scam. Sending the surfer to a site that frankly is not worth membership because it pays you well is a scam. Sending the surfer to a dating site that is not 100% truthful about the people on it is a scam.
Telling yourself it's "buyer beware" is an excuse to be a scammer.
Scamming the surfer has cost us all far more than all the Spyware, Torrent and Tube sites combined.
Now dating sites, which are probably the biggest scam of all are not only scamming surfers, they're scamming people in the industry. Who's surprised?
We made our bed now we have to lie in it.
Do you want an honest industry, then make sure you're honest first.
Sorry but it needed to be said with all the ranting about scammers going on. The scammees don't like being scammed.
(I include myself in the above, girls I shoot are not raving nymphos who fuck anything with a pulse.)
