Why would I choose someone who wasn't my wife or I to get a % of my action? Because someone spammed their code at me?
If you trade $100,000, your referrer gets $50. Is it really that big of a deal?
Affiliate programs can be useful, but not how this one was executed at all. This results in a bunch of doofuses advertising the same thing in the same place to people who 100% would hear about it anyway. They add zero value. On top of that it's essentially free for anyone who cares to get their own referral money.
I stopped making market a while back, but $100k doesn't take that long when you constantly take both sides.
