Who I am buying traffic from is irrelevant because it is multiple sources and I am seeing the same thing all across.

What is getting reported in Analytics is about 40% lower than what I am buying.

I know that Analytics sometimes reports up to 20% less than actual traffic when you compare to logs, but 40% is A LOT.

What could be the cause of this? The only thing that comes to mind is either hit bots or the visitor I bought closes the window so quickly that they are not counted by Analytics.

The bought traffic is producing enough income that I'm not freaking out. I'm more curious.

bots, they dont parse javascript.

so half of your traffic is phoney bots, the other is malware infected botnets using hacked computers to simulate real traffic.

I'd be freaking out, cuz i doubt you are making a dime
