Indeed... I was monitoring one campaign but did not really bother with a few very small ones that were active since 1.5-2 years... you don't think small steady campaigns will spike from 300 hits per month @ $0.15 to 3500 hits @ $0.97 overnight... especially not when there was no change made to TOS/Campaigns setup from that date.

It's like a bad surprise party.
