I can speak personally, and say that my affiliate income is down dramatically. In 2003/2004 I was pulling 2k a day or so. Now I'm happy with 100$ a day.
So I ask...

The money is still there to be made.
You just have to work 10x harder to get it. Everyday it is harder and and harder but the money is still there. I don't make 30K+ a week any more but still doing pretty good.
The pie is definitely shrinking, but it is still big enough that even if you get a small slice of it you can still make bank. You just have to work harder, longer, and smarter than everyone else. The days of finding something and making money from it on cruise control are way over. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of people get weeded out because of that, which still leaves money on the table for those who are busting their asses to make it.
I wouldn't bank on making affiliate money the rest of your life. Which is the main reason I am looking for an opportunity to hook up with a good company or individual who wants to have the best cam site out there. This affiliate shit is only going to last so long, at least for me it is. If you are an affiliate and you are smart you need to have an exit strategy - to having your own site, or investing in something offline, etc... something. I don't see things getting easier anytime soon and the pie will only shrink more over time.
