Been running basically affiliate free now for almost 2 years. Sure, making less sales, but making about the same money without the headaches. But yes, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to give 50% of the sale or in some cases higher to an affiliate. For what, just because he uploaded your content to a tube site and got a lucky hit? Enough affiliates and you start to water down your content making it basically worthless. Whats the point to joining a site when you can get all the content you could ever want from it for free surfing the various tubes etc.

No. Total lockdown, no downloading and 100% streaming only is the only option. I've noticed even the "big" boys trending toward this now.

Edit. Note, this only works on totally exclusive content, the nitchier the better... if someone wants to watch the shit, they join to see it or don't see it at all.
