But for many it is a huge revenue stream. If it wasn't they wouldn't do it. If the members didn't rebill it wouldn't be profitable. Speculation on why it works is just that...speculation. Unless you own a program that's doing millions of dollars in sales then you and I just don't know the reality. We're like the employees at Walmart sitting around in the stockroom bitching about how the multi-billion dollar company is run and trying to decide how it should be done.
Oh if Visa pulls out of adult it doesn't affect you? To think that is impossible to happen with our industries history is very short sighted. It's like your dealership story. If a dealer is fucking customer, the outcome only effects that dealer not the whole auto industry. In adult enough people are fucking the customer it effects all of us. As paypal and amex and the 1% cb ratio effects us all not only the people fucking people. We are down to 1 percent do you think its going to go up?
