All they want is your traffic.
Beleive it or not, the cookie cutter business model from early '99 onwards is still one of the most profitable business models that an affiliate program can market.. instant traffic in a wide reach of niches for as little work as possible.
Recurring memberships are not the be all and end all of an affiliate program, trading the traffic that you send to the programs paysites effectively is what will mean the success or failure of any specific program in the longhaul.
If you happen to make a sale or two in the process of sending your traffic to an affiliate program good for you but the reality of it is, that is second place to the ultimate goal of the program.. to make money for themselves.. by any means possible.
Why do you think PPS programs have so many consoles? For every 100 hits you send them.. a minimum of 20% of those hits get sent to a different affiliate program making the program money and not the webmaster.. its a pure numbers game.. he [or she] who has the most traffic, make the most money.. for themselves.

Yes of course we open our programs to benifit ourselfs, we are not running our affilate programs for charity you know. The good ones are the ones that make the affialte a huge amount of money for the traffic they send. Conversions is what its all about and helping the affilates make as much money as possible and giving them the tools to do it.
