No offense, I just hate this crying routine from programs about all the money and bills associated with their site. You chose to run a program and you chose the fact that you needed affiliates to make it survive. You also choose what you want to pay out and are competing with every other program in the industry. I'm not saying that your thoughts are wrong in any way, I'm just saying that you shouldn't blame affiliates for wanting more. It's just simple business, everyone looking for the best deal.
Programs do acquire their own traffic... but that's a whole other discussion.

Obviously affiliates want to generate as much revenue as possible from their traffic, I was just stating my opinion on upsells in members areas.

It may seem that I'm "anti-affiliate", but that's certainly not the case, as the hundeds of people who work with me directly can attest to, and as pointed out in my previous, less controversial posts.
