The shadyness of the affiliate marketing industry knows no bounds.
In spite of my screen name, I don't mess with these fucking retards anymore and shit like this is exactly why.
There isn't a shred of integrity in 99% of the industry. That includes networks, advertisers, and affiliates. And no one is completely blameless. Not one person.

It's a super shitty and shady industry, and no one calls anyone out because you become a pariah for doing so.
I have definitely spent the better part of the last year asking myself if this is something I can be a part of, something I can find a way to work ethically within. The conclusion I came to is that I needed to think less about marketing, and a lot more about running a business.
