I think we are seeing more and more examples of affiliate unfriendely behaviour from many programs. There are, however, also affiliate programs that really understand how to deal with affiliates! I hope it will eventually show to be the right strategy to work with affiliates as equal partners.
Dominique, I think your suggestion would help up us in the right direction. We want to support the programs that understand and treat affiliates as equal partners, and we want to get rid of programs that are top-driven with no clue about how this industry works. I think we can all think of quite a few examples of this.
