But as you implied/stated; the affiliates don't pay for charge backs.
So you went in a circle on that argument.
But affiliates only sign up to get half the sales they send to the site.
50/50 for the initial sale does not imply 50/50 for upsales/cross sales/etc...

That crap wasn't common when rev share first started. Affiliates would have raised hell. Now programs do $1.95 trials on revshare with $40 default checked cross sales. It's taking advantage of the affiliate who is now sending you traffic for $0.96 per sale at 2011 ratios. There's less incentive to convert the customer from the trial to that site. Why? Just send them to another site and pocket all the revenue and don't split it. Or any other number of scams you can pull.
True it'll show in the numbers eventually but why waste all that traffic to find this out? And most affiliates don't bother paying attention that's why they do it and get away with it.

The problem with that reasoning is they are usually the next ones to fuck you because they've demonstrated they don't give a shit about you. With PPS you take the money and run. It's no big deal. You pull links and move on. Rev share is different. Sending traffic to a revshare program is a calculated investment as well as a gamble. That's the way I look at it. Again, 98% of CCBill programs are revshare.
