I& #39;m cutting all affiliation and pulling my advertising from @adposta1
I& #39;m tired of being gaslit and manipulated for the odd $20 every few months. Their behavior is unacceptable.

This is the first promotion they ran with me. You& #39;ll notice it was almost a year ago.
They caught me off guard after sending $50 for a twitter promotion for both me and Mikki, by asking us both to advertise their website on ours. I said I& #39;d think about it and talk to Mikki.

This was 8 months later, after we tried to run another promo, but I didn& #39;t have proof the client came through so AP was reluctant to send the $. I said that was fair and I was willing to cop the loss as it was my error.
He told me to "leave it with him" and asked again about the link (which to me felt manipulative, like he would send the $ for the promo if I posted the link). This time asking as if it had already been agreed upon.
I told him I was under the impression that the promo was the $ in return for a twitter post, since that was the arrangement and he didn& #39;t even mention the link until afterwards. He specified that it was for the twitter post and the link was basically a favour. Again, no agreement
Skip ahead to now. We had previously talking about me creating a banner to go on AP& #39;s website, but I hadn& #39;t gotten around to it. He said not to worry and that we& #39;ll do a text link instead, and once we& #39;ve gotten that out of the way we& #39;d talk about sponsored subscriptions to my OF
Again, it took a little longer than expected. I was a little confused that he seemed to want me to give away the subscriptions before paying for them, but thought nothing of it. Turned out this was because he wanted to push about the link again, now claiming I had already agreed
This is where shit starts getting very gaslight-y. He is now insisting that I agreed and if I reread our messages I& #39;d see that (the same messages I posted in this thread), but he is refusing to evidence his claims with any examples.
Apparently I& #39;m wasting his time and money by doing the exact promos discussed and paid for, and not offering free advertising space on my website. Acting like I owe him because he reached out to me to run promotions which I agreed to because they benefit my clients- not me.
