Some sympathy for affiliates please?

[OldLearner]

In almost every post I have read lately in this forum, it seems to get stated that the affiliates work very hard to LOOK OUT FOR OUR BEST INTERESTS.

We don't seem to realize how much work is involved when you have 4,000 - 5,000 players that must be tracked and paid each and every month.

When I read this little gem the first time, it didn't bother me much. But after reading it a couple of other times and once again today, I mean, gimme a break.

I would like to know what you are making off of these 4,000 to 5,000 players that you work so hard for.

Seems like a fair question.

If you aren't making much, then I truly do thank you for your incredible efforts and sympathize with you for the amount of work you put in doing this for me.

If you are making a ton of cash, then its obvious whose "best interests" are really being catered to and the sympathy card will not be sent.

What it really sounds like is:


"At the onset, our little goose only laid a few golden eggs and everything was fine and easily manageable. But our little goose grew and grew. You people don't seem to realize how much work is involved with following this goose around picking up all of these damn golden eggs".


The bottom line is you guys are in business. Although I may benefit from our business relationship, you are not working on my behalf and working tons of hours to make the poker world a better place for me.

You are working for yourselves and probably making a lot more money than 99% of the posters here will ever see. So please don't tell me how much work it is and that you work 7x24 and the rest of it because your not doing it for free so why would anyone give a rat's ass?

Really, really, really not a good part of your arguments in these threads.
