It doesn't matter if it's ONE SALE A YEAR. It doesn't matter if an affiliate sends 1k hits or 100k hits. This is about ATTITUDE and PROFESSIONALISM and how a Program runs their business.

Not giving a fuck because an affiliate isn't a 'whale' makes the Program look like cunts and BROS.

Perhaps, in the end, RUC and any other Program with this attitude will be just fine doing business with the BRO club circle jerk. But in the end this Industry will collapse upon itself and not even the BROS will be able to support each other. Many other industries have tried this approach - big whales only, fuck the little guys - and those industries have suffered, withered and died. Short-term greed and a "We're too big to play with you" attitude has been the demise of many egotistical, delusional fucks.

Treat people - affiliates are PEOPLE let's remember - with respect and be professional, even in the face of frustration and exasperation, and THEN you can be taken seriously as a business person. until then, all this BROspeak just proves to me that there is now a real divide between 'mega-players' and the rest of us. The irony here is that sooner or later even the BROS will be hurting and looking for affiliates one day. Everything is cyclical.

I just hope affiliates remember who treated them with respect and who treated them like fools when that day comes.
Nice pitch to pick up all the smaller affiliates when the industry comes crashing down "again".

Believe it or not, the industry is evolving again, tubes are positioning (bracing) themselves, major companies are manoeuvring into positions. The Bro's you speak of, its those bro's in the bro's club that are working together, along with the whales, on platforms you could only dream of, and platforms that are owned and operated BY THE INDUSTRY, not an individual. I can only assume that you do not want to be part of such a platform and stick with the small affiliates. Its fine, I didn't have you down for an invite anyway ;)
