I also saw a lot of blogs slamming programs so they could promote wealthy
affiliate.   Don't you guys who do this think people are gonna catch on?

No to that.  The way to get people in wealthy affiliates is to promote it along
side of other programs and get people into both the programs you are
promoting and wealthy affiliates. 

Really what people who do that kind of thing are doing is misleading people because
there's value in most of the programs you all are promoting. Why drive people
away from other good programs when you can make money from them and wealthy
affiliate. 

Change your ways.
