..now on the other hand you use those excact same car dealers for justifying crosssales, except now it's okay ????

I'll agree with you that "When you bought a car...please believe me you paid xx?$ in b.s. "product" that you did NOT need" ..sure if your a smoker you want an ashtray, if you don't smoke, you'll have payed for an ashtray that you don't need etc..
If anyway related to porn, this would compare to you joining for the main movie content, but not being interested in the photos or the bonus feeds.. But can't really see it comparing to crosssales in any way.

Crosssales imo. compares better to you buying a trailer with your new car..
Eigther because you didn't notice a trailer sale added to the contract.. or because you forgot to tell the car seller that you didn't want a trailer (depending on the type of crosssale)
Bro, I can't make you see what I'm trying to say, and it doesn't really matter. I never said that what car dealers do: "pisses me off" I said it's business as usual. And I have an inroad to save me thousands of dollars when I buy vehicles. Car dealerships are the ones who get pissed when I do that. LOL!

And my point was...in case you're still misunderstanding me...ALL businesses have "backend" A x-sell is just a ONE DOLLAR charge for god's sake, a full membership to a website is about the cost of half a tank of gas for 30 days of 24/7 access. This whole thing is nothing but fucking drama.

The real players could give two shits what any of us think. And the few guys who are both affiliate (for over 10 years) and paysite owner (a little over one year) who DO give our opinions are told we must be idiots because we don't comprehend how a one dollar x-sell with an email and a way to cancel and a way to get your money refunded is assraping.

I don't see that at all. And I don't see how all these smart guys on here can say that they didn't even realize they have been promoting x-sell sites for a decade and it's just now a problem?

We have to agree to disagree my friend. As I said earlier, your experiences in this business have led you to a firm belief in one way. Mine in another.
