I don’t see that as affiliate bashing, professor.
I apologize if I offended you in any way.
I am an affiliate, and I have a branded site. And I believe in branding. And I believe that casinos, as well as affiliates, are better off with branded casinos.
Right now we have some overexposed brands, and a lot of nothings.
It would be very nice to promote some better branded casinos. Those of us who attract novice players in particular will profit from that.
Maybe it is a bit of bashing of affiliate programs, or casino marketing departments. But certainly not of affiliates.
