I don't agree with the idea that "as long as i get paid, i don't give a shit if they lie/cheat/steal/shave". Not anymore. I've dealt with people in the past that I knew were fucking other people, but were being straight with me. And I figured, as long as they don't cheat me, it's not my business - and these were *big* players. Well guess what, eventually they WILL fuck you. It's just a matter of time.
There is a lot of BS in this business. Mostly because adult attracts a lot of get-rich-quick artists that have little concept of business or ethics. That doesn't mean everyone in adult is a scumbag, but scumbags are attracted to adult.
I would never shave, and I'll tell you why. It's not just a matter of ethics, you do FEEL better about how you got your money. Even if you're a greedy, you should learn that you'll make more money in the long run being honest. Really.. When people trust you it opens up future opportunities you haven't even thought of yet.
The problem is, a lot of webmasters care so much about the buck that they're blinded by high percentages, or initial payouts. So that pressures the sponsor that may be waivering about what payouts to offer and whether he should shave or not. The old rule of "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies to this business too.
People are only as honest as they can afford to be.
