And this is exactly why I believe that all content should either cost the WM money to put up - seeing as I, as well as many of my friends in the business paid for this same content when it first came out to produce galleries, free sites and AVS sites and even the mentioned SE type sites - or be provided from within the affiliate sites by the sponsor for their best-producing WMs as has been done for ages.
The fact that those programs blindly give away content that has been bought previously leaves a real bad taste in our mouths and tends to lead us to look for other programs to promote. (something most sponsors probably dont even realize)
If a newbie (although Ive seen loads of people that do this biz for "pizza money" for years also) really wants to start a business in this industry, they need to find out quick that there are costs involved with any start-up and this is not a free ride to give them a side hobby. The sponsors tend to only think of short term returns, and discount the effects of their actions, which in the long run really hurts their bottom line as they are producing most of their own cheater/fraud WMs with this promotional blitz.
