Yes we get some cheaters with scripts and they generate 100 times more signups per day (also they don't have an 1:1 signup ratio, but instead are so smart to mix with traffic buy to look like 1:100 ratio etc.). I was pointing out that this guy not only is super easy to catch as fraud, but, he does all by hand and even if we paid him, he would earn $1.8 per hour, which is so low, and he is ok with $1.8 per hour. I believe he can earn more with those fill by hand or click things legitimate jobs you find online, no?

Yes you guessed, and I am fine with cheaters, just I am sorry they cheat for just $1.8 per hour. Revshare can be profitable for a program if there's "shaving" or some other "missed" tracking, or expiring cookies and limit of x months terms fine print... since that's not my style, and we pay the models higher % than a streamate or such so our revshare % would anyway not be attractive to affiliates, I don't give any revshare. Except to models, really, these so much like to move guys across sites with own affiliate id and so I allow them to bring in, to balance the many they steal out from us.

All automated. Every 12 hours I get an email with the list of cheaters sorted by a fraud score I ideated, which considers not only the same IP range, but the ratio and a dozen of other signals I am not going to disclose. Then I go check those new ">50% fraud score" guys in detail so to write them a "sorry" email, even before they ask the first payment or contact us (this saves them time). I let signup this guy for 2 days as I was cynical to see if he actually was happy with the earnings, and at 3rd day I figured $1.8 per hour is "ok" for some.
