Affiliates are good.
But sites should not fully rely on them (many have).
Affiliates should be seen as a bonus for sales rather 100% of sales.
Many sites I suspect went bust who relied 100% on affiliates, even if they got a lot of sales.
Many invested heavily into content, and they gave 50% of sales away to affiliates. Once you take off the cost of content, hosting and all other costs, many were making a huge loss, even when they were getting many sales.
