The bottom line is that it doesn’t matter who is screaming foul play if the program (and others) don’t truly care about ethics. If the common goal is met, it shouldn’t matter who has initiated the first blow.
It is the programs who hold all the power, they can either stand for fair play aka fair business standards and enforce those morals on ALL of their partners or they can mope and dope around talking BS. Finally some of us are coming to realize that it is our duty as professional and ethical individuals to only promote programs representing our views and to call out those that don’t.
Good points. There are clearly some programs who would co-operate and some who wouldn’t. But as you say, that is bound to impact affiliate promotion.
