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.

At last the truth.
So if you're not actively promoting the company and relying on galleries, articles or clips that are ancient to get the occasional sale companies have to fall over themselves to look after you.
It's not worth the affiliates time to invoice the company, but some think it's worth the companies time. One works in his kitchen the other in a building with employees.
DDF would have sat down and looked at what these affiliates are bringing in and made the decision they are not worth bothering with if they can't be bothered to see if they made a sale. Because the rebills aren't flooding in these days
PorcoRosso is right. Here in Europe, the taxman is getting very observant of companies working online. Companies like DDF are being brought into line with offline companies.
