Maybe 
Some sponsors have given me access to their members area(not TobBucks, never seen their members area) and 90% of them I would not join for 10bucks a month. I have some AVS sites with better content than some of the crap ive seen, lol. Everyone has the same crappy feeds, "Join now. get access to 50,000 movies" LOL gimme a fucking break!! You want less charge backs? Try having some origional content, quality content, contant that the horny surfer can actually get off on.
Note to all program owners: STOP CRYING AND GO UPDATE YOUR MEMBERS AREA.

While I agree with this, I'm assuming most of the programs are terming accounts that have a higher than average cb %.
Example: Affiliate A's traffic is constantly below the 1% rate and Affiliate B's traffic is closer to 10%, are you really going to keep Affiliate B around?
Program owners sometimes have to make decisions like this and it will probably continue and get worse the next month or two.
While I think overall, we can all share the blame: surfers learning to chargeback, programs ripping off surfers, affiliates having unrealistic expectations with the value of their traffic, etc.
Interesting times indeed...while it's happening sooner than I thought, I've been talking about this for awhile: soon it'll all be invitation only for per signup options and possibly even invitation only to join most any program.
