This isn't about the specific drama of the moment, but more about the matter in general.
Does there come a point at which a company is justified in stopping payment for a single referral? Does it matter what kind of program or referral it is?
Note that the companies in adult can end up playing seriously high amounts for such single clicks. The VS example is one, of course, but from my own experience I think that, while it is obviously uncommon, it does happen with at least some regularity.
In my personal view, there are arguments for both sides.
On one side, one can argue that the effort involved at some point simply isn't connected to the reward received in any way, shape or form whatsoever anymore. Perhaps, in such cases, the webmaster in question should simply count his blessings - he's already received tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for ridiculously little effort.
On the other hand, affiliate programs generally do not state any limit on the amount to be paid for a single click or referral. And if a webmaster gets lucky, so does the program.
