you could have other sponsor which dont have such thing at all,but dont convert yet this one could generate a lot of sales.
Also,sponsors rarely do anything when there is such complain,for example some offered xsales free links in affiliate control panel but not much sponsors did that.
But the thing is as soon as other monetization options pop up which you do not get credit for it tends to only get worse as the sponsor starts driving more sales to those options as they know they don't have to pay you your cut. You're providing traffic increasingly for free. Then as more sponsors do it your pockets are increasingly empty and before you know it, it's 2014 and due to various shit you're earning 5% from paysites now as what you did in 2004.

It's a bit like getting hired on at $30/hr to do a job and then slowly have them take your wages down to $1.50/hr using various tricks and excuses. If you stay employed there I guess that is on you.
