When was the last time you saw an affiliate program admit fault on GFY and make a show of adjusting affiliate payouts to rectify the "error"? It's been a few years. These days, they don't care. Catch them leaking your traffic or changing your cookie storage from 30 days to 30 minutes and they are all just like:
