Local News Reports on Shady Bizopp Advertisers

It all depends on longevity of the offer. If being less shady keeps the offer alive on Google, keeps the merchants going for longer, and making me more money in the long run, it could be worth it. For instance, Google money offers offered a quick buck, but people are getting their adwords accounts banned for it - If a non-Google offer converted similarly, but paid less, those same affiliates would be better off in the long run with those than with Google. Of course, it all depends on EPC.
The things is, a non shady offer that says "We will bill you $90 a month" in giant font on the order page will have extremely low conversions and EPC.
Unfortunately, the only way for us to get those $X.XX EPCs we like so much is to stick with shady offers.

EPC is not nearly as sexy as TOTAL PROFIT. If you could promote a legit offer and get recurring commissions (or better yet, your own continuity), you would make way more money.
Those shady advertisers don't give you any recurring monies though. They really should because EVERY affiliate would be promoting that one.
Recurring comissions simply don't work, that's been proven with ringtones, etc.
Current rebill CPA is paid with an understanding of net present value. No affiliate has the patience to be losing money on a PPC campaign for two months waiting for their recurring rebill monies to come in.
