Almost all the big ones are dead for affiliates, i have a couple hookups witha couple, other than that submitting is getting to be fucked. You're right the few that seem to let you upload dont put it anywhere so even 2 months in you have 0 views its pointless. I don't care about clicks they can keep them all I want is my typeins and I am happy
They benefit from me pulling a lot of long tails through them as well and my edits and content choices are super high rated, so I don't mind if they put an aff link on my vid as long as I can get the typeins I am ok
But Even that is getting hard.
