This is a numbers game - just because you don't have the proper equipment and skills to play does not justify cheating. I'm surprised you feel this way Jim because this is something that 2 or your former employers (CE and FlashCash) would never dare to do. The only programs doing this are ones that have a history of scamming affiliates in one way or another.
Even if insurance companies did not drop people for too many claims, your analogy is still way off. The "contract" is just the start of it.

Do you really expect to make money when the program you are sending traffic to is losing money because of that traffic?

But, Greenie is right... You get switched to revshare because your traffic is not making enough to pay you for PPS. So, you will get paid less. I would move on.

But the biggest part that you are wrong about... "this is just another way in which sponsors have found to rip off webmasters." It's a way for the program to survive without ripping off webmasters.
