I know Homegrown has taken much longer to move on some issues due to the same type of structure, so I can relate to their pain there. The important thing at the end of the day is that they did do the right thing, and it wasn't years later.
I understand your point, but I'm skeptical. I'm very, very skeptical. I really don't want to continue jabbing VS since they did the right thing, but I'm curious about how long it took them to create that official response to this thread where they tried to justify their tactics by placing the blame on the affiliate in question, by characterizing him as a freeloader who's undeserving of continued revshare from a "single click", as a belligerent man who berated VS employees after he was told he wouldn't receive the money he's owed.

Yes, what a positive outcome indeed for VS... being patted on the back for doing what they should have done in the first place. Excuse me while I break out the champagne and hookers.

Quite frankly, the real positive outcome from this was a group of united affiliates pushing for a compatriot. Everyone talks about how organizing individuals in this industry is like herding cats. Looks like a few cats were herded.

Good move on VS's part, better late than never, rah rah rah, enjoy the kudos fellas.
