I don't pay my sponsors' processing costs, hosting costs, production costs, shooting costs, content costs, banner costs, etc costs, but I'm not 'screwing them' by getting 50% or more on revshare.
People who see it as 'us' and 'them' are never gonna win.

Compared to when the url wasn't there it is being screwed over. Now that you think it's okay now why not make the url bigger? Why not put it on the banners too (which some already do)? You see where this is going.
If you don't deserve credit for that 1% of impressions you are sending because you aren't paying processing costs then why do you deserve anything at all?
The whole point of the deal used to be that the affiliate gets their cut on the business they send the sponsor. Over time the rules have changed for the worst for the affiliate. Just because it is the normal thing now doesn't mean it is right or that everyone has to accept it. Like I said I think this stuff is why so many moved on. It's so common now to come up with ways to take from the affiliate and then you can justify it with "they don't deserve anything anyway".
