Are Ad Networks going to kill the Affiliate Model?

The problem for the affiliate is if you are profitable with your ad campaign some sponsors will just cut you out. Then you become a free market researcher for the sponsor. Being an affiliate with many programs isn't near the deal it was once was. I believe affiliates try to sell (quality) traffic to brokers because they want guaranteed income and they are distrustful of their sponsors. Don't forget all the tracking issues too. Affiliates want to be paid for ALL of their traffic.
