While it's shitty for smaller affiliates, it absolutely makes sense from a financial point of view. It's not to not-pay smaller affiliates - it's to scare them off entirely. You signed up with a smaller min payout, but there are others that will still sign up, see that and just not send traffic.
My accountant wanted to know how many documents I produce a month and priced me out based on that. If I suddenly had to produce 10x the documents because I was doing $50 instead of $500 payouts, it would be much more expensive. Plus the payout fees, I think you have to pay paxum $1 per transaction as a business (also wire fees for instance if you are doing bank transfers etc), Plus the additional labor of doing that many more payouts (more staff hours) etc and the fact that an affiliate that brings in only enough sales to meet a $50 minimum every 3 months isn't really making the program any money - they'd rather focus on larger affiliates making more sales, contacting them, asking what they need to make even more sales...
