I find it really tiresome when people start throwing around the whole you-must-be-small-time if you want to get paid what you are owed. No offense and I might have you confused with someone else, but, as I recall, you used to run a program where you kept changing the setup to jack affiliates on all existing links and you eventually went out of business because people got tired of putting new links up for you. I apologize if I have you confused with someone else.
My points were:
(1) A lot of standalone programs depend upon NATS to be able to do their accounting. Maybe you think that makes them small time, but enough programs use NATS that I think
NATS should make it more feasible for those sponsors to make payouts in a way where they can keep track of them.
(2)
The payout thresholds were set at a time when sales were more robust and it was reasonable to expect that affiliates would reach those payout levels in a timely fashion. Now that those amounts are less realistic for affiliates to reach in a timely fashion, perhaps the break levels should change to keep up with the times.
