Dr Yildiz this story touched my heart deeply as I am into affiliate marketing for a while. My lost from Medium affiliate earnings was minimal but I promoted another company dearly. When I started earning they changed the rules after a year and asked me to pay double of previous entry fee for the second year. When I disagree not to pay they did not not pay me my previous earnings and closed my account. It was like a punch in the gut. I stopped promoting that platform but I still feel regret for my my efforts like you adding them in my blog posts and even creating YouTube videos. Thank you for writing this educational story so beautifully.

Very good case study, Dr Yildiz. I liked your independent and well-balanced analysis of the issue with valuable lessons for creators. I don't know much about affiliate marketing but my adult kids do it as side hustles.
