The thing is.... people are reacting the same as when Visa made it so that you have to pay a yearly fee and the $750 setup and Canadians have to incorporate in the US... and blah blah blah.
Some people cried "the end of the world" type stuff... but it's still here. Some people are gone but most dealt with it.
Not to say this isn't a bigger deal.... it is... but people will manage. Things change... it's how the world is.
For the most part, I've seen sponsors raising their payouts.. I guess it's a way of laughing in Visa's faces... or it's a way of re-affirming their affilliates that they aren't going anywhere... or... it's just a way to get more affiliates signed on... getting more signups... hoping to get so much that 1% would be hard to get to.
It's kind of smart if you think about it.
Either which way... the raised payouts from various sponsors in response to this will go away. Either this will bite them in the ass, or they'll get their surgence of new affiliates and rise in signups and then they'll be able to lower the rates again.
But... in the end, everything will be balanced out... and everything will roll along until the next big huge industry changing event happens.
