Where have all the affiliates gone?

[Magnus3x]

The Affi market has been on a long decline and more recently a very sharp decline. You would have to put in 500% the effort to get 1% of the desired results that programs used to get just a couple of years ago.
Any program relying on affiliates to make up the majority of their traffic with no in-house traffic or a substantial monthly traffic budget will be in for a world of hurt, if they are not already. Of course exclusive, rare, new or unique content will get you a whack of new affi's wanting to dip their toe in the pool.
