Perhaps because no one is considering the possibility that they are not scammers, just because it is more fashionable for affiliates to say yes yes programs are shaving.
Reading GFY posts, one would conclude that all the big programs shave, especially more the affiliates, bigger the probability to get many of these allegations. According to GFY posts, all the small programs do not shave, simply because there's no one stating they shave. Before people said that chaturbate shaved (when got many affiliates), now it is said of bonga since it is getting popular... so when a program gets popular, you get to know it by how many "program shaves" posts. I don't see posts about I am shaving, so I am not yet as popular, what a pity.
So, I know bongacams people since day 1 they opened, and I run cam sites on my own.
I see on my program that 8 out of 10 new affiliate accounts opened for cpa (pay per free) are scammers, i.e: they do fake accounts with vpn/proxy or more complicated cheat schemes including bots over infected pc's etc. Other programs (tofu) confirmed this in a GFY post, it is a standard to get more fake than real affiliates. Let me avoid to talk about carders for PPS.
This takes hours of time every day to divide real from fake signups, I wished every affiliate could experience being on the program side, validating signups, to understand what I talk about - it is so boring. Some time the fake signup affiliates, when busted, blackmail that they will write bad review in forums - really never happened for my sites that I know of, but, I seen it happening for others, who reads carefully GFY may remember cheaters posting complaints. So a program knows that banning a cheater it can produce bad reviews, this is also boring.
Now, I suppose bongacams it is getting as much actually fake signups and cheaters, so while it is possible they wrongly considered as cheater some legit one due to paranoia (is just a possibility, I have no idea), I find it not probable that they would close lots of legit accounts generating sales, as this does not make sense even for them.
Said this, bongacams (as well as every program) could be evil and shave, I can't know, but I added a point of view, that unlikely an affiliate would add.
