Well, I will say that there is alot of crap out there, however, there are alot of quality ones out there as well. As for the belts...well, sadly, some people do put more of a focus on getting new belts every other week, instead of putting in the time, the blood, sweat and tears. However, there are some schools that have only a handful, and you test when the inst. feels that you're ready.
AGREED. there is regular *FREE* testing for beginner levels (which are not ALL that hard/have all that many requirements), but intermediate-advanced levels test when he (instructor) feels we are ready. belts are NEVER EVER guaranteed, either. just because they TEST every 2 months does not, by any means, mean they will achieve a new rank every 2 months.
