I've seen this happen before.
1. Sponsors launch program
2. Sponsor gets affiliates with high payouts.
3. Sales come in from all over the place and it's going well.
4. Sponsors realize they are only getting a small payout.
5. Sponsor cuts affiliate program without telling their affiliates.
6. Bank lots of cash.
It's hard for the affiliate these days. Your traffic has to come from multiple sources otherwise your going to take a drop in sales.
