HU cash is the worst form of poker for sites, sure. And regspeed husngs aren't particularly good, either. But I don't know if hyper husngs (or even turbos) fall into that category -- good regs win at <8% in turbos and <4% in hypers pre-rb at reasonable stakes, less vs regs. This is doesn't seem bad for rooms and is absolutely not comparable to the >20bb/100 some hucash bumhunters are able to take from fish.
Re policing collusion -- this might be a minor concern, but I don't think it'd be too difficult to spot and prevent suspicious activity (ex. 2 accounts flipping hundreds of games against each other).
It may be bad for the snc economy, but not because fast husngs are a particularly bad game for the sites to spread I think. I'd be happy if you pointed out where I'm wrong here Winning_TD; obviously I don't have access to any site internals but my impression has always been that high-speed husngs are pretty good for sites to run. Of course I know that slower hu formats are not so great because of absurdly high edges relative to rake.
