Oh how the mighty have fallen.....

Sigh.. give me a break. The assumption that a company is automatically in trouble because they use pre-checked cross sales is nonesense. You can argue that they may not be making the best business decision but to say they are automatically in trouble is silly.

walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... I say duck.

The sad reality is that for even the biggest programs out there, revenue is down in many cases up to 80% from what it was. Nobody in the Bros club top notch upstanding guys wants to admit they are failing. So, instead of failing, they have fallen into this scheme, go get NATS installed (because it makes it easy), add as many processors as you can manage to get, then start jamming the cross sales through.

Your $35 payout per signup isn't hard to do if you are collecting $120 off each sale, now is it? Suddenly they are all profitable again, they can all go to the conventions and buy the bros drinks, and they can afford the strippers.

Short term gain, long term pain, because the continue to piss off the few remaining porn buyers. Plus, because the whack on the credit card is so high, it is likely that the cards are failing or can't support a rebill, so they are pretty much toast.

Make it all today, make nothing tomorrow.
