I'll (if they change it retroactively):
1. Blacklist the company (and all other related companies they own) for life in both adult and mainstream.
2. Stop sending any traffic to them immediately.
There are plenty of small programs out there who will appreciate an affiliate who even sends them a mere 1 new signup a day. I'll support those guys and they won't have any problem paying me my cut for "life". They will be happy to do so. If it gets so bad that there is no one left in the niche who is decent then I abandon the niche (And I've done this before) or open up my own. If adult gets so bad where no one is left and I decide nto to open my own paysites then goodbye adult. I'm not taking a pay cut to give the sponsor more while I generate the same amount of revenue. Especially given the current trends with tracking (cookies) and other issues such as the cross sales. The way I see it they are getting a deal as it is.
