No offense ladies, but you apparently prefer to see things only from the rosey eyes of an affiliate. Not the bigger picture as a business owner. Which would include BOTH sides of the equation. If the program goes out of business, you do not get paid. It's reliant on BOTH pieces to make it work.
Most of those minimum payout threshold and the rest are to prevent fraud, and include levels of cost control. Something that you could help eliminate, fraud, by being filtered on the front end.
Add in that if content would have always been, and was today, locked down a bit more with a more selective process in place as to who would get the keys to the castle... and maybe... just maybe your affiliate sites would convert better.
Whatcha think hmmmm?
