I don't think the biggest companies in the world treat people like crap. People complain about banks and their fees but if I owned a bank I'd charge whatever the fuck I wanna charge. And if people didn't like it, they'd go to another bank/energy company/online music company/domain registrar/whatever. I'd either adjust if enough people left or just keep on charging what I need to to make a profit. Any company can charge anything they want for anything they want. The consumer then decides from which companies they will purchase.
FORCING people, or in the case of teengfs, deceptively encouraging people to sign up for something they don't want, is a serious blight on the adult industry. IMHO, it has a large negative affect on the ability of long-term adult webmasters to make money a year or two down the line. Shit, it's even a detriment on tomorrow. If I have a tgp and I send a surfer to teengfs and he signs up, you think he's coming back to my tgp tomorrow to look for more sites to join? Hell no. He's deleting that bookmark and moving on. That crap on teengfs is far worse then a cross sale below the submit. Far, far worse.

I thought we speak mainly about cross-sales, as I don't think they really have such a negative impact as webmasters think.
About the forced trial...well, at least there is explained for how long it is, what site, what price, etc...so the surfer can cancel right away, if he wants to. What would suck would be a shitty members section afterwards. That after the surfer goes through all of this, he would get 10 videos and 10 video sets inside. Because I have seen such, too.
But just look at some mainstream join pages...the cross-sales are so hidden, that on some join pages even experienced webmasters don't see them first. There is nothing to check or un-check, not visible at least.
