There are affiliates out there like me, I don't need a rep and I don't use your promos, I make my own. All I need the company to do is send me my fucking money. Which is the one thing they DONT WANT TO DO and is why they closed down their program = EXIT STRATEGY.

Jesus christ you are thick in the head you keep going on and on trying to justify a line of shit that these programs are feeding you and you can't accept the obvious truth, they closed down the affiliate program because they didn't want to send out "xxxxxx" in affilaite payments for the couple periods still owed, they put that money in their pocket, they make 100% on all future rebills, they let their staff go, they cut back expenses as much as possible and they put the sites on cruise control. They can live off of the fucking rebills for probably a year or so and it prolongs them having to get a JOB.
Your over the top GIANT CAPITAL LETTERS don't really make a point. I already stated, the majority of the time - it's obviously going to be a financial decision.

The obvious problem with your theory is the fact it's laden with emotion and the oversight of a business plan.

You're saying program A isn't doing that great, but still making money. Instead of moving forward with their business, they decide it would be more lucrative to end their business and turn into scammers. So the following day, they end the adult affiliate business they had running, and plan to make OMG SO MUCH MONEY (notice the caps) by closing their doors and keeping all the rebills at a whopping 40-50% more than they were.

So, the likely scenario is: Program Y makes Z sales each month. Their affiliate program costs R each month and R is less than the F the affiliate program makes them each month. --- So they close it!

Your theory is: Program D makes P each month. They are making a solid B each month off their affiliate program. Instead of continuing with that B each month, they are going to drop the program to scam the very minimal % increase of B sales each month.

Do you not understand how backwards that is?

Your basically saying (for those that didn't pass algebra), that instead of choosing a solid steady income through the future. The program is deciding to take a temporarily higher but rapidly declining income for the short future.



Oh, and I'm not an affiliate. So I'm not worried about "them lying to me".
