Now imagine some affiliate of HiGR using PPC gets the prominent spot and they pay him like $30 per signup and the user cancels his subscription after a month.. they make next to nothing.

What are your experiences with HiGR - how many rebills do you get on average?

The other thing is:
1) there are TOS for a reason - if the affiliate didn't act against them, then by all means - pay the man.
My thought would be that most people who sign up for the site are doing it more out of curiosity than sex appeal, and that retention would be less than your average site. I was given a pass years ago because I wanted to check it out, just to see what the videos were like. I logged in once and I think I scrolled through parts of 3 videos and never logged in again.
