Everything about this industry from the top down is designed to fuck over affiliates. Sure, there are / were some great companies in the mix that did things completely above board but they are / were few and far between. Now the industry is consolidating and being bought up by a few mega companies that got rich fucking over affiliates, are getting richer continuing to fuck over affiliates and who will soon (now?) not even give a shit to deal with affiliates at all.

I think you're mostly right. At the same time unfortunately many affiliates don't seem very bright and bring much of it on themselves by being ignorant. If you're careful about who you promote and paying attention you'll do better and not get screwed near as much. If you follow the bros and chase $100 PPS while ignoring your gut you'll probably get screwed every other week. It's too bad the ignorant affiliates hurt us all to an extent by allowing the bad elements to thrive and get to where they are.
