If I can sell a new membership today, I can sell another one again tomorrow, IMHO. That is my job as an affiliate.
As an affiliate, my job will always be to sell.
As a paysite owner, my job is to sell and retain.
That is my personal take and preference on things. I know that this varies by the person which is why both options are offered, so don't jump on me for my opinion and for running my business as I see fit for me.

I've also favored upfront money by selling a couple of my sites for lump sums vs. a long term return (which will easily turn out to be more money) but as I said if you have the ABILITY to do one or the other, and don't need the money immediately, revshare is always the better option (for the affiliate).
You simply will not make more money on PPS - a program owner simply won't allow it. They all state quite clearly that if your traffic quality falls below a certain criteria, they'll convert you to revshare.
Even crazy 100-200$ PPS promos are calculated wins for the companies - you get 100-200$ for 1 month, and then you get 30$ or whatever it is for each month thereafter, while they reap the benefits of the part of the industry with probably the most recurring sales than any other part - LIVE CAM SHOWS.
