This network is still grossing 5-10k a month, that's more than alot of programs out there.
Can't pay affiliates. lol biggy while you might be able to convince non program owners. I don't believe it for one second.

That gave me a warm feeling. Sorry but I get too much shit from others to not feel good when real business people post the truth.
Yes for those not getting paid on rebills or money held it's shitty. Very very shitty. Melissa isn't the first and won't be the last. Affiliates have to accept that it's a changing world in online adult and adapt.
Today for many margins are slim. The places left to trim costs are very few, content has taken that trimming for years. now it's affiliates turn. This is the future plans for many.
Examine the cost and return on having 100 to 1,000s of freelance affiliates who they have little to no control over and all demanding the sponsor runs his site their way.
Comparing this cost/return/benefits on bringing traffic generation in house.
Then maybe cutting all those not sending sign ups, not traffic it's not king. Sign ups are. Keeping those worth keeping and cutting the rest. And bringing traffic generation in house.
Yes it's a shitty way to do business. But it's just business, not charity. It's no longer 2004, pull your weight or get cut from the team.
