I can understand when a non-webmaster doesn't grasp the fact that the affilliate (referring) webmaster had to work very hard for many hours also, to build his sites and pages and to promote and get the traffic so that dear Abby could have him as a member.
But she should know better. Checked this out, in Abby's post....

My main problem with the affs, is that I work my arse off 80, 90 hours a week to make the site as best as I possibly can. The staff I employ work hard as well, and they care about the site too. Yet I have to give away HALF of my gross to some lazy (six to ten hours a week's work) guys who make a few web pages with MY images, and post them on the net!?
Hardly seems fair...
But to look at it from their side, they know the places and ways to post these pages of my images for the most amount of sales - that honestly does takes time and experience. And, some - they argue most - of their joins would never have found my site, and incrementally, it does not cost me much to add a member to the site... so it's income I'd be otherwise missing out on.
I don't pay out rebills

Sorry, but this Abby is an utterly clueless bitch of the worst order.
1. Why HAVE an affiliate program at all if you're just going to bitch about having to pay them?
2. Excuse me bitch, but you wouldn't even HAVE most of your members if not for them finding their way to your site via affilliate links.
3. You don't pay affiliates on rebills? Ha ha.... then those who ARE promoting Abby's site are also clueless morons. Why not send your traffic to a pay-per-signup that pays out TWICE what Abby is paying?? Or join a decent partnership program that does pay on rebills.
Holy shit I cannot believe the bitch cut her own throat like this. I would never promote a site where the owner thinks his/her affiliates are a huge waste of money to the point where she would even suggest to or discuss with members about how to remove referral cookies etc.
The term brain-dead doesn't seem quite strong enough in this case.
