Maxpower, this is all part of the greater shift in traffic and affiliate programs that has been coming for a few years.
As more and more traffic sources come into play that can be purchased or traded for, traditional websites such as TGPs, galleries, free sites, blogs, etc are all become less and less relevant to some programs. They have Zangos, torrents, and tube sites to get traffic from. Much in the same way some programs were totally addicted to spam traffic, some have beecome addicted to web2.0 traffic.
What many of them are not seeing (or not caring about at this point) is how these sites are accellerating the decline of the adult business. The 1 in 200 business that in 2 years turned into a 1 in 2000 business and is rapidly heading to a 1 in 20,000 business. They are making the mistake of thinking they can support sites that give all of the product away and somehow make it up in volume.
Instead, they are killing demand for their products, and the only people left laughing are the dating, cam, and toy sites who's business doesn't change because their content can't be given away.
For them, WM are not the focus of thier business anymore.
