The attention thing never mattered much if you were just a revshare affiliate not looking for a payout bump. A "low hit shaver" was never much of a concern either. It was presumed you would be treated fairly and be paid the commissions on the sales you sent even if you only sent five joins a year.
I completely agree that it is different now.

I maintain
With the exception of high traffic review type sites (Like Free Ones) sending to a LOT of different sponsors is like throwing shit against the wall, sure a little sticks, but most of it falls on the floor.
Oh and my "join date" to the industry was August 1997, and my opinions on Affiliate sales are based on analyzing 17 million affiliate joins
