I just get amazed at the holier than thou attitude of man over things like, shaving, cross sales, piracy, fake traffic, etc. When companies like Dating sites are ripping surfers off with fake profiles and so many in here saying things like a fool and his money are easily parted.

I read recently a thread about some of your traffic not being as honest as it should be. The consensus of opinion was it was sold to you by a scammer. So is it a case of a fool and his money are easily parted when it comes to you and your customers being scammed?

Same goes for shaving. OK scam a surfer, terrible to scam a webmaster.

Or does it only apply to surfers?

You can't condemn webmasters being scammed and laugh at surfers being scammed.

Hang on I just read all the other replies, it seems you can laugh at customers being scammed as long as we earn out of it.

The dating sites make far more than $300k off their fake profiles tempting buyers, so how are they any more innocent? Of course this doesn't benefit dating sit e owners, it draws attention to a point they'd rather nobody take notice of
It also draws attention to peoples attitude towards ripping off the only people putting money on the table. No wonder Tubes have so much traffic. Tubes are a safer bet for the customers.
