- Making network sites that affiliates can't even promote

- Making your watermarks on all your sites say the network site's name

- Not paying automatically when thresholds are reached on some "contact us to be paid" shit

- Tour leaks are extremely common place now, to facebook, twitter, anywhere else ya'll feel like

- Removing payments.php in your NATS installs

- $5+ check fees, paxum fees, etc. Making a profit on doing one of your only required responsibilities as a program owner to facilitate having affiliates. Zombaio? $30 check fee...

- Offering discount pricing to some affiliates and not to others

Industry is a game of cannibalizing each other to stay afloat these days.

I've had sponsors in the past not even make me a new banner with custom size after sending them lots of traffic and making daily sales, so pretty much dropped all the ones that can't be assed to spend a little time helping me make more sales.
