Exactly this.
There is asymmetric info available where the program knows what threshold most affiliates will hit, but the affiliate does not know beforehand how the program converts, and a wave of poor-converting programs set their thresholds too high for typical affiliates to get paid.
Then smaller affiliates just mostly got out of the game. Which really sucked for legit programs because those thousands of beer money guys added up.
