It's a complicated issue. All filehosts have some form of rewards program, so it's not like money can't be made elsewhere. 
I don't care too much about the particulars of the download experience since I use JDownloader.  |
I use JDownloader as well and i know that other filehosts offer some sort of reward programs too, but for some reason it's mainly HF that all spammers are using here.
I guess it pays up better, since there is absolutely no other reason to use it: slow downloads for premium users (from my experience), free users can't download with it as much as they can via, lets say mediafire or megaupload with one IP and not as fast...
Anyway, my beef here is not with the filehost itself but with the local spammers. They spam this board with whatever they can find or steal from other uploaders/rippers, its became harder to spot a good and original posts under their thick pile of crap.
Many of those spammers don't even care about this community, or interests that you and me share. They're here with the sole purpose of money making, nothing more. Some even have links in their sigs to shady ads sites, or "How to Make big $$$ with Hotfile" crap...
IMHO the admins need to clean the house.
Also as you've already said there are many boards that have entirely banned HF, or made "Spammers Paradise" forum-subsections for all the spammers to flood it and i think we need this type of thing here too.
