I understand what you're saying but there are other perks to having personal relationships and communicating with sponsors. Whether it be special payouts ... or having custom creative made ... or special linking codes ... or landing pages ... or gaining inside information about new unsaturated sites ... or getting badges for shows taken care of ... or any number of other things.

Also, I feel the more people you're in communication with the more $$$ making opportunities arise ... at least that's my experience
