Because it wouldn't be your customer to sell things to had I not sent them to you.
This is a competitive market. Alot of programs out there paying the same percentage of the revenue without all the upsells, OR programs that have upsells but pay out on them, OR programs that pay upfront for the joins.
I can send a revshare signup and only make $1. I'm taking a risk that you're going to take care of that customer and keep them for a long time. A great way to do that is to give them content instead of ads, and maybe not show them your competitor's sites that they might like better.
