Would you change them if they were making less money than other sites would?

My opinion is they are trying to get some free money.

I know they are. The problem affiliates have is most are becoming irrelevant or unprofitable. The amount of "free money" they will gain isn't worth enough to scare them.
Look who Mindgeek own. Why should they bother with an unprofitable sector of their business?
There's no written contract, no oral contract between a site and an affiliate that says you have to keep accepting or sending traffic. In fact, I'll bet the Terms state both are free to change at any time. More often than both are tied to each other.

Bet there's a heap of affiliates who have forgotten where their links are. Yo Paul, most of us don't have a magic "change all links to the new program" button.
It's not just that you have to change the links, you still need to FIND them, too. webcams.com referral stats are limited to a 31 day range, and it looks like you have to click each individual day to see URL details, so it's going to take a fair bit of work (hundreds of clicks) for an affiliate with several sites to find the source of their recent sales.
Looks from recent stats that my links expired with the domains I let drop, but I cannot be 100% sure there isn't still an active link somewhere. THAT is the problem, Paul.

This shows how important affiliate traffic is to Mindgeek. THAT is the problem, Rowan.
A list of who you promoted and on what site, was too much work for you.
