Great post.
This is the real world, pay your bills or go bankrupt paying others who are not actively promoting and selling the site?
Expect it to happen a lot more. Programs will start to look long and hard at affiliates who are just getting rebills, got money held because it's under the minimum or people using their content to sell ad space.
5-6 years ago the layer of cream on the cake was thick enough to carry these people. Today it's not. So expect programs to look at whose sending traffic, whose only doing rebills and who are mostly getting paid rebills. Then deciding if the axe will fall on them. Consider this the future.

In English. Cut those you can live without, to keep paying those you need.
