This is likely one big reason why so many affiliate programs are closing... Their margins are going down. By around 10% and they already were operating very close to their limit with pps.. So now they have to drop affiliates since it was simply the non aff traffic which was paying for the aff at this point... So why keep them...

They simply did bad member value calculations or inflated them to be able to pay more for pps...

Bad math, never works...
