"Hi, I need to eat" ;)
Seriously, we've refused before, and even got the work. Looked back later on to fix bugs, and they simply hired some guys to put the code in after the fact.
Any sponsor you use, probably does it. It's just one of those unkept secrets in the industry.
I even have heard from major customers of some big payment processors that THEY even have shavers built-in if you ask, and pull enough $$$ with them. They were losing too many customers to custom coded stuff, I suppose. Heresay I know, but I tend to believe it given the status of the individuals telling me.
I understand the way you feel though. I personally wouldn't do it if I ran a paysite, but I also will never, ever, be making the bank that a lot of the people that do run programs make.. Perhaps that tells you something?
This industry is a magnet for the most dishonest, can't make it in the real world people I've ever seen. There are definitely quite a number of honest to god bright and upstanding individuals, but the percentage of "bad people" is nuts.
Note the number of people stiffing hosting companies out of cash, how when you're an affiliate with a program making just BANK, and they don't get paid for something they just stiff you? Real world, that would never happen in the amounts seen here.
In short, it's part of dealing with the industry. Either learn to not let it bother you and keep your head up, or you'll quickly turn into a quivering mass of gelatin. ;)
