Live Blogging the Jason Calacanis Keynote at Affiliate Summit Sam Revenews with a blow-by-blow account. Sheesh, I'm glad I wasn't at this one!
Here's a couple not so nice quotes from the Summit KEYNOTE speaker:
Quote:
10:15am “Affiliate people doing spam can abuse these systems only so much before they collapse.”
10:15am “We’re tolerant of these people polluting the web. Affiliate companies are enabling the polluters of the well and turning a blind eye.”
10:20am “Truth is, much of this affiliate stuff is bull**** ponzi scheme where people got lucky and made a lot of money not doing much.”
10:22am “The internet has turned into a criminal mindset game.
10:22am Calacanis busting Shoemoney, Zac Johnson and the guys who post their earning checks.

Geez Calacanis - a little down on affiliate marketing or what?
No really, don't hold back. Tell us what you really think! 
At 1st I agreed with Trust's comment about - why would you have someone that hates affiliate marketing so much, do the keynote. Then in thinking about it more - I decided it was a brilliant move. Many big Internet personalities and marketers share his view of our industry. It's a fact! I think pressure from people like Jason may help us do a better job of self policing and at least trying to clean up our industry.
