They are desperate for that money.

That is a recurring problem in the
adult space, that is why the vast majority of my affiliate relationships are now mainstream where I do not have all of these concerns. Mainstream is just like anything else however, you need to get in with the right networks. That said, there are some who take very good care of affiliates who can deliver and push quality traffic, including cash back bonuses every month.
In adult, a few people/companies control the vast majority of the wealth left in this industry. It's not to say there is not money to be made as a producer or pay site owner. But if you're a lowly affiliate, you will find that swim in increasingly more difficult for you. It's time to diversify. Assuming you know how to build sites, and drive traffic, you should be able to easily transition into other online spaces. You just have to WORK and retool your operation.
