Your opinion and help please?

My main problem with the affs, is that I work my arse off 80, 90 hours a week to make the site as best as I possibly can. The staff I employ work hard as well, and they care about the site too. Yet I have to give away HALF of my gross to some lazy (six to ten hours a week's work) guys who make a few web pages with MY images, and post them on the net!?

I just went over there to give that thread a read. I've got to say, I was a bit shocked and certainly disgusted that a program owner would trash her affiliates like that in public. If she feels her affiliates are such bloodsuckers, why bother to have the affiliate program? Oh, wait...affiliates DO send sales she wouldn't possibly have gotten otherwise. 50% of something is still WAY better than 100% of nothing, no matter how much you whine about it.
