Affilates that get hit due the recent scam technics will see bad ratios, bad conversations and much less money from given sponors wich will just result in either going out of business or leaving the sponsor in hope it will change their income with another one. So affilate programs supporting/tolerating actively or passivly such fraud will loose soon or late as well their ground (the affilates) for their success and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to imagine that a program with decreasing affilates will decrease itself as well.
