    I love the number of people coming out of the woodwork with “obviously” ex post facto. Like everybody could just intuit how this operated, both in the affiliate stuffing and the deal agreements. It is difficult to show the latter.

      Difficult to prove the latter of course, but out of the two, it’s not what most people seem to be complaining the most about.

      You’d need the first one to get big enough to pull up the second one anyways.

        Influencers complain about the latter because it’s a better message for their audiences. If they complain mostly about their share everybody would tell them go to fuck themselves
