Appshopper is a drop in the bucket.

This change will affect absolutely nothing except for those few people who were relying on it for their income.
As some people have said already: Patreon. Not that it is going to solve anything, but if a target is set ("I need X to get back the lost income due to the loss of the affiliate program"), I know I will provide some bucks - at least for discchord and Doug, and even the forum if it needs it.
And for a trillion company, Apple is... Well, I will refrain to make further comments about this, or their API support, or...
Gizmodo nailed it

“it will punish some of the people who helped build its success. Affiliates who’ve promoted apps and taken a small cut of the purchase price are being pushed out because they’re apparently no longer useful.”
Yep. Nice company.

Too potentially political.
Looked more like economics, nothing is black and white, but it still affects people, good people.
Be careful who you love...
Nice DM tag
Well shit, there goes a big chunk of my income too. Bugger!
I bet you could get sizable and well deserved Patreon support from many of us greatful for all you do.
Now every App purchase has new fundamental economics:
Economic considerations:
does Apple keep that extra revenue?
does Apple their 30% split with developers?
do affiliates move their efforts towards other other revenue that reduces overall IOS App sales revenue?
Big companies almost never appear to be anything other than self-serving, especially when they seek to maximize profits. The requirement to be profitable leaves them exposed.

Done. Your work is appreciated and valued.
Fixed: Nothing is black or white
You can make a lot of money in the stock market, but also lose everything. Remember Lehman Brothers...
What this means is, in five years Apple might finally decide to implement a way to find AU music apps. Key word there being “might”.
Keeping the Panda theme going, here is what Steve Jobs would look like reincarnated as a Panda, upon walking into Apple headquarters and discovering what Tim Cook has done to his company:
Developers need to get organised and lobby Apple to drop this idea. It is "anti developers". Devs get a HUGE amount of free publicity and advertising from reviews on YouTube, blogs and web sites. The incentive for reviewers is the few bucks they get from the referral link. Take that away and you lose the reviews.
Kind of you @wim
Yeah I'm going to write to some peeps
I have no experience with an affiliate program, but I know that it costs Apple to manage it. It's not all gravy. There are probably also other factors that relate to some larger strategy.
Seems naive to think that Apple just pulled this out of their ass without a plan to strengthen their business and to ultimately make more money. Doesn't mean everything they do is smart, but without all the information available, I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that this is bad for them.
Sorry to hear it, Michael.

really like this one!
@Dawdles > @Dawdles said:
Because if you go to th APPS section of this site/forum, there are literally thousands of App Links that have Michaels Affiliate link on them
Are these thoughts for Patrons only?
Might be worth making a public point if it is appropriate..
I buy via Doug's links because they are the best demonstration of whether an app is for me or not. Developers own videos tend to be either flashy ads with hipsters on trains fiddling with their phones, that tell me absolutely nothing about the app they're trying to sell - or in-depth tutorials with hardly any actual sounds coming from the app. Or they don't bother at all. Similarly I'll click on a Jakob, Pants and RedSky vid if they put up a link.
No vid usually means no purchase for me.
Before vids became a thing I'd buy via the 'compatibile' list of apps in Audiobus itself, and of course the links and feedback posted on here are invaluable for finding stuff I want to use, or avoid. If someone has gone to the effort of finding, copying, and posting a link then they deserve the 12p or whatever miniscule amount Apple thorws at them for promoting their stock.
Hopefully Michael will keep this forum running, as it may be the last place we can all find and share good apps. If not then we're f#cked.
