The anonymity point is a good one. The moment I see "enter cc info" on a new to me site I leave and never come back.

Keep in mind that all 31 transactions you have here could easily be tracked back to you by provider and IP address if the man wanted to dig a little. If you want anonymity then the internet ain't it.

Easily.

They still run CPC,CPA, CPV ad campaigns through the site. Or ODT sells their traffic, makes money and the companies purchase/convert that traffic to make money by sending traffic to their affiliates/customers. ODT started off the same way Facebook did. With no ads. Then, once the realization of lost revenue kicked in, we had ads. In essence, to believe there isn’t money being made, is silly.

The fact that the ODT runs CPC campaigns and Google Ads has nothing to do with OAuth.

The bigger problem with this is, my wife would then find out just how much I really spent on guns....

Never said it did. My reference was in regards to money being made which ties back in to the general discussion. You hinted at no “kickbacks”, though ads are a different topic, they’re still part of the big picture. ODT started out like FB and then realized the potential for revenue with running ads on the site, just like FB.

The OP I was responding to was assuming ODT made "kickbacks" from offering OAuth and I was clearing it up that ODT does not, in fact, make any money from offering OAuth, that's all. Of course ODT makes money from CPC and ads. That's not being disputed here.

And technically speaking, OAuth makes money as well, because every person that logs on, is a “unique” and therefore represents a $. Wether or not ODT has a deal worked out for them, either in traffic or monitory value, we’ll never know unless we see the contract.

There is no contract.

There is no contract.

You cannot use a service without a contract or something in writing. Believe it or not, the interweb is a highly regulated market. I can assure you there is a terms of service agreement(contract) that must be acknowledged prior to service.

There are terms you have to agree to when you create the API keys, but you're making it sound like ODT has a contract with Google, FB, and Twitter to offer OAuth in exchange for money, and I'm just telling you that is not the case. It's just a service that's built into XenForo.
