I don't think you realise how many affiliates buy there own content.

Look at it from a listing/saturation point.

If 20 sponsor programs bought a set for affiliates at $10 a set, they give to 200 affiliates, that would flood the market and make that set worthless. Plus we would only make $200 on a set, not profitable

The real money is selling 50 affiliates who buy content. They all get a return on the set and come back to buy more. We make $500 on a set, they make more money as well.
