They're going to cut the affiliates and pull things in-house, people.

Cutting the affiliates immediately gives them back 50% of their money.
You think they are really *that* desperate to keep your traffic? They're not - up to this point they've just been taking the easy route. It's much easier to pay you $35 per signup than to try to manage 1 employee.

I agree with most of what you say, but I disagree with this. If sponsors could have made money getting rid of affiliates, they would have already done so. Truth is, they are paying pennies on the dollar for the traffic affiliates send, and they know it.
