Are you so new that you actually think that by calling Trey a liar you are burning a bridge?? This is GFY!! It's not real life!
Trey doesn't give two shits about you. IMHO 90% of all programs dislike their affiliates. They need you and you need them. It's that simple.
Do you think a program owner likes splitting his revenue with people that openly bash their programs? Fuck no. Affiliates are a fuckin' pain in the ass. Trust me on this, I know first hand.
Everyone wants something special. They only do 1 or 2 signups a week (if that) and they want the royal fuckin' treatment. The affiliates that bother you the least for stupid shit are the big guys doing 10 or more signups a day. It's all the little guys eating away at your fuckin' time all day that cause the most problems.
"My link doesn't work.", "I just made a sale 2 seconds ago and it's not showing up.", "Your galleries suck!", "You guys rock!", "You guys suck!", "Your conversions suck.", "Can I get free shit from you guys?", "can you check my account...?" Trust me affiliates are a pain in the ass. Get any program owner drunk enough at a convention and ask him. (with the exception of LightSpeed, and SoulCash, they never cracked under the pressure of my questions about affiliates and in fact said quite the opposite)
So do you think Trey cares if you burn that bridge? Fuck no. More money for him in the longrun if he plays his cards right.
He probably has a whole crew of 3rd world submitters running galleries for him day and night at a tiny % of what he splits with you.
Some programs just buy signups. And why not? It saves them the hassle of dealing with affiliates and it's more profitable.
Do you really think Trey sits on here and keeps a list of people that call him an asshole or say he's a liar? Fuck no. He doesn't care. His only goal is to weed out the weak affiliates.
People that earn with him don't listen to his board bullshit because they know that he's just weeding people out.
Piss off the trouble makers and keep them out of the program, at the same time build contraversy and get your name out there. For those that can see thru it and decide to join and can keep their fuckin' mouths shut as they earn, then so be it.
Is it smart business? Fuck no. It's a hard way of doing a simple job. But so what. Do I think he's a liar. Yes. I think he lies. I think he says and does anything he can to keep his name here. Because every once in a while he snags a guy that can see past all this shit and earn with him.
