I think you have to treat people fairly. I've never screwed anybody over in this business and pretty much work my butt off to make my money. This content theft is pretty outrageous and I have taken steps to stop it from happening with my stuff.
Pre-checks? Don't bother me at all as long as they are visible. Nothing like the old dialer days...now THAT was fucking some surfers over.
And having a brother whose in the car industry I would say that every person here who has ever bought a car doesn't realize what happened to you on the backend of that deal.
Think in terms of 100 hidden pre-checked x-sells and then you start to get the picture of what happens to a consumer buying a car. LOL
Same with most any business. It's called "making money". Furniture is marked up 300% from wholesale to retail and the list goes on.
Now if a company gets crazy on you with truly hiden x-sells or a chain of x-sells that nails your ass even if you uncheck it then that is a big problem. Then you're pretty much doing what the dialers did 6 years ago.
Speaking of a few years ago...I seem to remember losing a ton of money on rebills when a certain company closed their affiliate program because they didn't feel they needed it anymore. Thousands of dollars a month in rebills just...gone. I hope that never happens again.
