Data Broker + Affiliate Network - Who Cares?

[shortattract]

In an old post about the epic/connexus merger, nickycakes mentions how no one trusts the bloosky aff network.

being probably the biggest broker of data in the industry, why would run campaigns with their affiliate network knowing the other side of their business is to sell data like this to people?

I know I'm digging up old posts - but could anyone explain why you worry about working with a network that you know brokers data?

I figure since they are one of the biggest data brokers, they have better connections selling that data... hence possibly better payouts at least on their own offers.

Why should I be concerned with them being a data broker? Maybe I don't understand the data brokering business enough, and thats why I'm posting. I have a feeling I'm missing something like a nub - but nothing treacherous immediately comes to mind.

Well I assume that nickycakes is referring to the "date" that you produce when pushing traffic to an offer.
