The onus is on the program owners to spread the truth of the matter, but instead it was always easier to just keep spreading the lie.
this is the core of the matter. being an affiliate you are in essence being a partner with teh person you send traffic to. probably a good idea to know who this is. doing business with teh right people will pay off in the long run

Yeah, I remember that - one of the more epic debates on GFY that I can recall.
I agree too that any program can shave regardless of boxed solution, gateway/processor etc. Anyone that thinks otherwise is simply delusional. (waiting for the usual response - someone to say it is impossible for anyone to shave CCbill revshare...)
This also illuminates another conundrum - affiliates that think they are ready to run programs and programs that think they are ready to drop affiliates. Certainly there are great examples of affiliates that do start up successful programs, Bangbros is the best that comes first to mind, or on the other side of the fence Mac&Bumble, but for every one of those success stories, there are over ten times the failures.
