Affiliates will always be around in some way as long as they have traffic. I already make more overall on average by selling my traffic or sending it to cams or dating rather than sending it to paysite sponsor programs. Do you really think I'm going to go for 20% revshare instead of 50% when I already make more by selling the traffic instead? Complete with the cross sales, signing members up to dating programs on the pre-join form via API, and the member area upsells, shaving, etc. too?
In the days where piracy rules affiliates don't even need sponsors if they want to be dishonest. All they need do is steal your content and toss it up on a tube while selling the traffic or putting up dating sponsors. I would think twice before pissing on your affiliates too much. Half of you already encourage it anyway by sucking the cocks of those who steal from you.
