I always found it funny how the large, serious affiliates who make you the most need very little of your time, while the guys bugging you all day long produce barely anything.
The programs who will hurt the most, are the ones who lack the knowledge to put the proper infrastructure in place to build up their own traffic sources.

Your point about sponsors doing all these things for affiliates is off to me since
before the sponsor did all these things I did it all myself.
Doing galleries myself, buying content, making my own banners etc... didn't
take so long that I wouldn't do it for affiliates.
Affiliates should be looking for traffic, not each building a gallery with the same
content I give out. That's 1000 duplicate galleries if you have 1000 affiliates.
Why waste the affiliates time like that?
Further, how is a sponsor going to build "in-house" traffic without making galleries,
free sites etc...So after making the stuff anyway, how does it make sense to not
make it available to affiliates?
