OK I will start with the obvious. Affiliates in online adult are over paid and over indulged.

A fixed cost can be 1% of the revenue and 5% of the profit. They can be 10% of revenue and 30% of profit. They are
fixed they don't vary a lot. You have to fire people, get a smaller premises, buy less content, slower hosting if your profit goes down. Yes today hosting is cheap, it's still pretty well fixed. The only variable is rev share or PPS.
It doesn't stop at payments to affiliates. There's marketing to them, tools, support and everything else they ask for.
The future is bad for most of us, people are cutting costs. Affiliates are a big expense, gone are the days when their cry was "It's our way or no way.". Sponsors are starting to bring this work in house. Manwin is just one with a massive Tube.
