Saw on this board and another one complaints about people closing their affiliate programs, sites or the support they get and it made me think.
Where affiliate programs going in the future?
Sponsors have never had it so tough. Many have already cut the amount of shooting they are doing, or the amount of content they buy in or have shot for them. Saw a thread recently with programs talking about sharing exclusive shoots. And still some are struggling. So where do the cuts come next?
Common sense will tell you that some are no longer making a ton of money from affiliate traffic. Those cutting back would not be cutting if they were.
Now all the sponsors can jump in telling us it’s all fine.

There was also two big things happening in the industry, Ibill shutting down and Alberto Gonzales and his 2257 crusade.
What year did you start and what was going on then that you remember most?
