It would be nice if Visa/MC would prohibit cross sales of any kind where porn is involved. I think we all agree that while cross sales are legitimate if used responsibly, they are an overall black stain on the industry.
I dont disagree with you on the ethics point, especially in the way it is being done just. Cross sales in general mainstream or porn should be shut down. You cant do this in a retail store. "oh you baught thise sneakers, you get to try these 2 tshirts out, if you dont bring them back we will charge you $45 dollars a month and send you 2 new tshirts a month'. Department stores would love that.

It opens too many doors for shady business.
