Are mainstream sponsors a pain to deal with?
 

Just curious if mainstream affiliate programs are as much as a pain as many adult sponsors... chasing payments, site closures, link redirects, etc.

Yes. And they are very finicky too about where there traffic comes from.

In my experience, they are really strict on where you can link to and from. They are also much more limited on ads/creatives.

They are worse imo. Mainstream is way shadier then adult. Atleast you usually know where you stand in Adult, the players are a little more easy to identify (maybe just for me)
