Do you know where your money comes from?

All those who have joined (and get paid by) PTC and other sites, have you checked where your money is coming from or, what is more important, where the profit that the site makes goes? There are many sites that are set up to offer payment to people in return for doing things like clicking on ads, reading emails or posting on sites like this. Of course, they can do it by splitting the profit they make with their members. Some of them claim that they are paying their members up to 70% of the revenue; many others don't tell you how much they are keeping for themselves. My point is, really, not where your money comes from but where the rest of it goes. If you were to learn that some of these sites were actually set up to help fund terrorist activity, would that affect whether you join them or not? Would you like to feel that the little money you earn is dirty because it's paid to you by a company that may be supporting Al Quaida (or the Mafia or other such organisations). Bin Laden gets millions of dollars from somewhere. How do you know it's not from a site you support?
