I'm not saying it is working this way in this case but the way I suspect the high PPS programs for whales work is:

1. Offer your top 10% by volume $100 PPS
2. Shave your bottom 90% by 65% or more at $35 PPS in order to pay the top 10% more.

So I avoid anyone with radical PPS shifts at the top especially if I'm not sure I am going to be a top 10% affiliate with them.

Lots of people say shaving doesn't happen but a quick google search and a search here of posts from the old days will show you otherwise. You have programmers openly admitting that 9/10 of their clients asked for shave modules as one of the first requests. You even have a software provider who posted here linking to an admin interface and documentation which openly showed that it had shave capabilities. You'll find story after story of people meeting an unamed bro who told them "everybody does it". You do the math.
