Is the Affiliate Model Dead?

While discussed at length on GFY by Robbie and others, this was an interesting read.

Quote:
Jimmy aka Wizzo of Exoclick.com, a 14-year veteran of the affiliate game, sees the affiliate model changing from both sides, as the industry evolves. ?I know there have been many programs that have screwed affiliates,? Wizzo noted, ?but on the opposite side, there?s been a ton of scammers and deadbeats that screw programs as well.?
Quote:
"Focusing back on the tools that sponsors offer, 12clicks of 12clicksCash says that affiliates who rely on sponsor-provided promo tools will never succeed.

?[You] may hang on for a while, but if your business plan is to use what every other affiliate is using, you?ll eventually move on to whatever job you?re really going to do for a living,? 12clicks stated.

?Smart affiliates who become whales do not hang on the teat of programs waiting for them to provide them with a living.?
