What do you think has been happening in the last five years? AD blocking and privacy settings have been disabling or removing affiliate cookies in greater numbers over the years. Affiliates get poorer while the owners get a bigger chunk of the pie.

Many affiliates are stupid and will just pick their nose and not demand any changes to payouts or tracking to compensate. Business as usual. Maybe a few will change things but many won't. Why would they if a bunch of idiots are willing to send them free traffic?
