Saying a program should not pay out a 'true 50%' and saying affiliates should be in favor of it because they need to help out programs during 'tough times' is two totally different things... and frankly you know it.
Affiliates should send their traffic where it earns them the most money. Sponsors should pay as little for traffic as they can without lying to or deceiving their affiliates. The 'tough times - would you rather make 0% from an out of business sponsor' remark was bullshit... and you know it was bullshit.
