They didn't have to do a thing. Blaming affiliates is just the same old shit I often see here. It's your business and you made the decisions. There are plenty of affiliates who prefer a good long term revshare arrangement (without the "screw") and I happen to be one of them. For years now I've been watching these programs pop up paying $35 on free trials, the $100 per sale promos, the cross sells, and all that other bullshit. I've always mostly rolled my eyes at that crap. I know I'm not the only one either. We sat here for years and watched most of the industry indulge in it, mostly in protest.
