I just happened to be perusing some blogs and noticed the following:

I can’t help myself but get a chuckle or two when I see things like this happen… History tends to repeat itself and you can see always the ripple effect go all around the ‘net with these people who squirm even though they have knowingly enslaved themselves to the all mighty gods.
Here is how the story plays out: The new hot affiliate, slap this code on your site ultra mega millions thing hits the market, everyone joins up and starts making some good coin (at least on paper). Then suddenly the rules get changed leaving everyone feeling slighted or worse yet left completely out in the cold.
What’s up with that? All you wanted to do was make some money online and now it seems like some bastard businesses get to play you and can cut you off or take away your earnings on a whim at anytime without reason. Sorry folks but the reality is that you put yourself in that position!
I was going to post it here but Richard beat me to it… so I am going to link over to his blog… but watch the video here:
In this business I get to control my own destiny, I control the amount of income I make which is directly in relation to the number of products and services I can churn out. No company can take that away, no outside business can put a cap on my income or change the rules midstream. Think about that!
How many real movers and shakers on the ‘net are solely slanging other peoples products? How many million dollar product launch _affiliates_ do you see? The top of the food chain is making and selling their own products.
I wonder how many times people have to the shaft before they see the light. Ouch! I hope I provided some salve for your pain.
