You are sooo correct Wired Guy -- every industry that's derived from a sales standpoint has the run of the spectrum -- and it's all about what sort of system people running the businesses want to manage.
In economics tho -- there is the law of diminishing returns -- and I would guess that some companies in adult have already hit that threshhold and are on the sinking side of it --
which is fine, they'll either cash out or clear out, and what's left will readjust itself to the market and correct.
If affiliates spent more time looking at the totals on their checks and less time looking at their stats, things might even out too
