The whole aff system is in flux at the moment. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of new marketing strategies coming and going. A good affiliate is a pleasure to work with and a bad aff is a drain on resources.
IMHO, the dust will settle and the last men standing will cream off the business and do well and those numbers will become more consistent.
Content is king, and there is still a bright future for paysites. The next generation of internet customers are getting used to paying. They didn't grow up with this free internet bullshit. Just look at the way mainstream is going.
Too many, for too long, have been giving too much away. Apart from the obvious thieves, even tube sites have moved to aff programmes and their content is becoming old and tired.
Keep calm and carry on.
