One comment I have is that an average trend doesn't necessarily mean everything is fine: you could make sales from new customers and lose old customers to leaks in broadcasters bio for example. Meaning you should make more commissions which you are entitled to but you don't know it.

Eventually losing it all when sales reach a saturation point.

I would certainly hope the trending line goes up overtime if the incoming traffic remains steady in volume and quality (adding more paying customers and catching whales along the way).
