That's not a realistic analogy because we already know that McDonalds makes
money. We do not know that a new sponsor is going to make money.

McD's didn't start out as a franchise; it evolved into one based on performance.
A new sponsor has no record of performance.

Further, McDonalds never hauled ass with affiliate money.

Charging affiliates seems like an act of desperation of a program that is planning
on failing.

And why would a crook who is going to steal $5k from your program give a shit
about using a stolen credit card to pay the affiliate fee and then hose you anyway?
