Chris,
Great post except for that statement. If a sponsor is shaving then webmasters have a right to complain. Otherwise the TOS should state something to the effect that, "we reserve the right to "shave" from time to time in order to maintain the profitability of this program". No?
I agree that many people straight out blame their failure on shaving which is wrong. Many of us are making a lot of money even with the shaving. And I understand why the shaving goes on. But it is in fact wrong to do, bottom line. Therefore webmasters do have a point. The sponsors are all trying to fight for webmasters therefore they are promising more than they can deliver. If there was a trend back to more relistic payscale then maybe the shving could be dropped. But now that it has been incorporated into the system I doubt if it will ever be rid of no matter what the circumstances.
