Many of us in here are happy with it BOTH program owners and affiliates. You aren't changing anyone's mind.

It's not threatening to me at all. It's frustrating to me for sure. If you search GFY years ago (3 or 4 years would be my guess) you'll find a very very long thread with all the exact same stuff in it. The guys from FreeOnes posted in it plenty, as did I and a bunch of other affiliates. The number of affiliates who understood the easiest way to protect yourself is $/click was much higher than the number who wanted to bark about conspiracy theories back then. As someone who owns review sites, certification sites, paysites and has worked directly with many sponsors - I know how hard it is to built a strong reputation. I also know how quickly it can be smeared by nonsense. It frustrates me. Back in the day people got called out for stealing, with definite proof. Now they get called out with kinda, maybe sorta, this looks strange to me... That is not the same thing.
Based on the discussions I've had today via ICQ and Skype I'd say one thing is for sure, many more people agree with me about this than you seem to think. I'm all for going after scumbags. So is anyone else with a brain. It's the silly witch hunts and 'threats' that someone might attempt to see if something is wrong that makes no sense to me. If something is wrong, find it and take the necessary steps. If something isn't wrong then this kind of crap does nothing but create discord where none needs to exist.
As long as you know your clicks and your bank balance nobody can fuck with your ability to decide where to send your traffic.
