The new trend now is to also refuse to payout to affiliates below the minimum who request it along with a closing of their account.

If I got my accounts paid out once every 6 months or a year, you would never hear a peep from me about minimum payouts. But as a review site owner in this dismal climate, it's a serious problem.
The truth is that it isn't a problem of paying people too often for small amounts, it's that program owners have gotten fat eating from their (our) float, and rely on it to pay their own bills.
Maybe we can get a Barefootsies clap to that? Doubt it. Pissing on your business partners is something to be proud of, after all.
