2 cents...
I agree they probably have not really considered affiliates at all as yet. I suspect they have ,as others have said, more pressing concerns.
As for shaving affiliates...in general....
to my knowledge the market is too competitive now to do that nowadays . Rule 1, never shave a whale, he will catch you, he has his own detailed stats and knows his traffic. (However even now , a big affiliate program will have 5-15% of its sales untracked. ie an unintentional shave. There are many ways this can happen despite the program trying to give an honest count)
takethebluepill...the reverse shave has been popular for years. Good affiliates are hard to get. Whales even rarer. You will do whatever you can to keep them happy so long as you can show a profit. However small, per join , spread per member lifetime relative to volume.
As for small affiliates, I used to manually credit people who were vocal on forums for example.
Specifically with AM... I think they have way too much on their plate to be looking at this hard yet.I have not seen the big 20-30g dump. But I would think in there is details of their affiliates perhaps if someone has seen this they would comment and remove the need for guessing?
