If you do a logical examination of most programs and the affiliates payouts you see a big hole.
No program can afford to pay out 50% plus to affiliates before they pay any other bills. Then there is the cost of supporting and finding affiliates, which is huge. All this before you have spent a penny on the product. Billing, content, hosting, programs, office and staff costs, then shows and promotions.
I forgot they pay for it by upsells and their own traffic. Yes the 1-1000 surfer to join the site suddenly becomes a cash cow to be milked and they send enormous amounts of their own traffic to pay for yours.
Go figure yourself how it works.
That should get this thread moving.
