There are several things to look at:

- the 'affKey' cookie is not there on m.chaturbate.com. It is easy to verify (no technical skills needed) so take a minute of your time to try this on Chrome browser: javascript - Check Cookies using Chrome - Stack Overflow

- if you change the domain of the affiliate link it states the link is broken:
https://m.chaturbate.com/affiliates/...0&campaign=xxx

- if you use the standard link a simple traceroute shows a redirect to m.chaturbate.com (without passing parameters). Remember by default subdomains are treated as entirely separate domains as far as cookies are concerned so when the cookie is planted on the main domain (and thus counts a visit in your dashboard), it is not there for m.chaturbate.com
https://chaturbate.com/affiliates/in...0&campaign=xxx

- support tells you that mobile is not supported for affiliates

- another indication is the sudden drop in signups back in around october 2016. This was observed by many. I don't know exactly when the mobile version was set up. This drop was certainly reflected as a proportionally high spike for chaturbate since they were receiving the same amount of traffic but didnt have to send back shared commissions on mobile.

- if you want to do a test, don't forget to clear cookies before going through your affiliate link. Then observe which cookies are created on the final landing page m.chaturbate.com
(affKey is missing).
