Scroll up. I only advocate for legal sites that treat consumers in an ethical manner.

Also $ per click only would matter for the present time and cash in hand. I base the majority of my work on future earnings. What I am working on now won't make money until the future, nothing is instant. So if I blindly based my business decision on $ per click of present day earnings with no other factors considered there is a decent chance I am not going to make the best choice.

Did you also base your savings on the future of epassporte? Did you invest based on the future of sub-prime mortgages? You don't know the future. You do know the present and the immediate past. That is all you know. As an affiliate your best choice comes down to determining what is performing well and being able to make changes quickly when necessary, not to predict what may happen in six months. If you are willing to take the risk of predicting the future you'd be a fool to do that on the affiliate level instead of developing your own full business model.

I could buy a site that has good present earnings related it's sale price, but it could be all search engine traffic and also has declining traffic. So in the present it looks great, but six months from now it could be zero. A sponsor's sites may sell well and had some good ratios, but if you build out a network spending time and money designed at promoting them and it turns out they go out of business, stop paying, whatever, then your blind $ per click assessment that works right now is going to cost you in the future

None of that has anything to do with where to push affiliate traffic. You are now asking about becoming a competitor which is a very different equation. You could also buy a fancy eyepatch, cut off your leg and replace it with a wooden peg. That would be equally irrelevant to the question of where to send affiliate traffic.

Life is bigger then $ per click

We aren't talking about life. We are talking about where to send affiliate traffic.
Your inability to detect relevance must make it hard for you to promote products and service that can convert your traffic.
$ / click is all that matters on the affiliate level
That includes knowing how much each click cost you
Whether or not the site reats your traffic ethically
Whether the product sold is legal
The rest is nonsense on the affiliate level
