Daymare - I made my money from the past. Trust me, my margins fall on a monthly basis because of the state of this industry and its not just me! All sponsor programs feel it. Surfers are smarter, they know how the system works, retention rates have fallen to insanely low amounts and yet commissions stay where they are. That is where the term 'absurd commissions' comes from. However, this isn't about lowering payouts to make more money, this is about lowering payouts so sponsors can make corrective action that should have been done a long time ago. The biggest action is lowering monthly prices, the next is losing multiple cross sells on a page, and the next is losing free cross sells all together. Whether other companies make similar rules as Epoch or not, its the right thing to do. Its time to put greed aside for 2 seconds for the longevity of this business
