I think this would offend people less if some smarts were used, and not such a blanket rule as conversion ratio
you have to take into account the type of traffic it is & resources it uses:
tubes gives more content away than picture galleries
embedded vs self hosted when it comes to resources
picture galleries give more away than sites just posting a cover or posts on a pinboard
even less content is given away if it's just a text link, for instance on a model profile that lists all the sites the model posed for
in those last two cases even if the conversion is shitty, it didn't over expose your content
again why not look at referrer stats and target domains that are converting badly or cost you resources instead of targeting a whole affiliate account
I get that it's tough times for paysites, but I think more targeted solutions are better & of course take down pirated content
