Avoid this program, simple as that,
I know that for some affiliates will be a tough decision to drop them but if affiliate programs continue to keep such changes by the end there’s no gain.
If they break a rule today, next year they will make another change and that can harm even those who are making a good income with them.
This is a high competitive niche and We need to support each other (affiliates and affiliate programs) because there’s no one to care about us.
