The logic behind this is when a company is substantially large, these 'surfers' will most likely find their way there, with or without you, a large portion of them. You are simply directing them at that given time. There is a reason most companies are dropping their affiliate program or didn't even decide to create one.

Think about it this way, if youre promoting Google Search, do you think you should get a net revenue for life when you give them a convenient link for something on there? FanCentro is one of the few big companies in this market. These types of platforms are the future of porn. Surfers are finding their way to these select platforms, from models.

It would be a different story if a specific affiliate had a specific client base that were solely big spenders and could provide more than redirecting general traffic.

I am not taking away from what affiliates do but it would be a biased opinion or an assumption to think an affiliate program is needed (you dont see the numbers) or if you warrant a percent of what a user spends when the platform pays a fortune to further develop features inside to increase earnings of the users they do obtain. What people spend once inside is simply due to the development of said company.

A platform makes a couple dollars from an affiliate program sale, say 10 percent processing, 50 percent to an affiliate, 80 percent of the remainder to the model. the cost of developing and managing said platform... the platform gets about 3.60 from a 20 dollar sale and happens to be the only one with a massive cost. also take into account the majority of people don't rebill. so what they developed inside to make more money from the odd user who stays is making up the difference of paying people out a very high rate

Models need X dollars to justify doing what they do. Perhaps there lies the problem that nobody truly profits as they once did.

The platform prices things in order to maintain the business model. If they give you more, the business isn't there to promote.

I say this as somebody who was a very large affiliate for over a decade
