LOL -- it looks like the reality is Epoch just forwards the money and washes their hands of it. Some of these sponsors have never run their own affiliate programs, they have no systems in place to pay affiliates, and they don't even get the payment information that Epoch has. How many of these sponsors are going to make the extraordinary effort to start making affiilate payments, versus how many are just going to pocket the checks?
I don't know where this misplaced confidence that "then the sponsor will pay the affiliates" comes from.
