Many smaller affiliates have left the game - ask Signupdammit, he's got all the facts and figures to support this claim - and those that are left have such limited resources, in both traffic and current income levels, that many are unwilling or afraid to try new sponsers in fear of losing what little they have left to cling to.
THIS post - your excellent point here - is what I was trying to say in shorthand in other threads: show me how to replace the traffic/sales with many "little guys" and I would do it. You did show me a way, and well articulated, but sadly there are very few affiliates left like yourself.
I do wish you great success!!

And I just explained why they disappeared.

In the long term, your guaranteed the same amount of traffic for X+Y amount of revenue - provided you make affiliates adhere to a simple set of rules. A) Don't give away tons of free shit or you are fired B) Don't annoy your surfers with certain ads or you are fired C) Don't pummel us with blind traffic or you are fired D) Don't promote us on sites that have poor ratios like TGPs or you are fired.
But you never made affiliates follow any such rules.

It's the real reasoning behind why sponsors resorted to getting mega user Tube channels.
Other than greed, of course.
