You sir are 100% correct.
I did some tests back in the day with IBill and CCBill.
1. I setup a brand new site (zero users in the password file)
2. Generated traffic to the site via controlled methods (text links)
On a 50/50 revshare the webmaster really gets fucked. It worked out to an actual 25%/75% revshare. There were that many sales lost because of cookie tracking.
If you are using a program that uses cookies you are being ass raped...
