Unfortunately now that its time to get paid out I see this thread. I'm in the same boat as many of you, weeks without a response from Crystal.
And on top of that my 'backup' program Pimproll just banned me.
Has the adult industry always been like this?

Whenever I look at my Nifty Stats, which are constantly declining anyway, I subtract 25% from the total under the assumption that I ultimately wont get paid.
I've been an affiliate for a decade and I would say that the vr porn sponsors seem to be the worst. I suspect it's down to VR porn growth flatlining and not skyrocketing as everybody hoped for (or prayed for). There are still a handful of very good sponsors with excellent trustworthy affiliate support - like Badoink - but I don't think it can be a coincidence that some of the worst sponsors around at the moment for not paying or scamming are in the vr porn sphere.
BTW, I personally haven't had any problems at all with PimpRoll and consider them one of the best.
The thing with Naughty Revenue is I can't believe they are scammers, it's just perhaps utter mindblowing stupidity at the top. You have their CEO Ian Paul giving interviews every week to the mainstream press about how VR porn is the future, even being the only porn company to be allowed to showcase at the CES, they are shooting more new scenes each week than anyone, and yet they don't seem to have a clue that all this is worthless in the longrun without the support of affiliates, especially their VR porn affiliates. Even just hiring a part-time intern to help out Crystal with accounts or affiliate management might make the difference between Naughty Revenue being a billion dollar company in ten years time or going bankrupt in 5 years.
If you Google 'VR porn', Naughty America are nowhere to be seen (apart from being mentioned in the mainstream tech articles that appear in the rankings below the tube sites). They haven't been paying VRPorn.com, which is number 1 on Google, and likely to remain so there or thereabouts for years. What the hell is the point of spending tens of thousands of dollars on media campaigns when whoever organizing the affiliate side of things is so dense as not to understand the importance of at least keeping your biggest affiliates happy???
