It's not a barrier to entry, although it is is a bookkeeping challenge when you have long-tail links dating back up to 18 years with hundreds of programs, most of whom don't offer any notification when you've made a sale or reached their minimum payouts of up to $1000.

But it's not a barrier to entry. That's not the objection.

The objection is that the programs use this as an excuse to keep money. They refuse to pay, offering vague excuses about vague invoicing requirements that were not met, and claiming that too much time has elapsed, so they can't possibly pay out now the free money they've been loaning to themselves, interest free, all this time. Citation: five years of posts in this thread.

So yeah, that's the objection. Nobody has a problem jumping through this hoop if there's enough money in the kitty to make it worth jumping through the hoop. But it's still perfectly possible to object to the fact that the hoop has been deployed, when the shady motive is clear.
