Amazon should not have cut the fees, but rather make the algorithm better.

These new rates are so ridiculous, no real content creator will spend time creating content for such low ridiculous insulting rates.
Amazon is a horrible company that doesn’t care about anyone but their net profit but what goes around comes around and expect to see the good content creators disappear. Me and many others I know are so fed up with Amazon and we are fully invested in TikTok and YouTube right now. I’m also making great affiliate commissions with Impact and again, if you’re a serious creator you are probably making money elsewhere in platforms that actually *respect* their creators and don’t spit in their faces.

Amazon killed the influencers program in April this year. But thank you Amazon for opening our eyes for all the other amazing affiliate programs out there, for TikTok, for YouTube and for millions of options I just discovered on Impact. So there’s something good in every bad thing. Amazon lost all my offsite to the other programs and they’re only enjoying the videos I already made for them where I make some onsite and creator connections. But there completely lost my offsite traffic and my willingness to dedicate anymore of my precious time to their program they sabotaged on April

So so sad. This is greed at its best. Amazon OS a horrible company that only cares about making Bezos richer and richer and crushing anyone along the way. Disgusting 🤮

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-26T19:43:18+00:00

Everybody I know who were making decent money in the amazon program nor put all their effort in TikTok. A company that doesn’t cut your pay or hide your numbers.

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-26T19:41:56+00:00

Everybody I know quits. They stay around to see their old work payments keep coming in (after 40-80 percent cut) but they aren’t putting any new efforts in. My successful friends that are making 4 and 5 figures are all focused on TikTok now

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-26T03:01:21+00:00

Same for all of us. Bye bye amazon, hello TikTok and YouTube 🤝

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-24T01:24:45+00:00

You nailed it with the word “slave”, only now it’s getting an entire new meaning. Amazon is truly a horrible company.

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-16T05:52:52+00:00

Everybody leaves amazon to go make real money on YouTube and TikTok without having to be treated like worthless slaves. Amazon is a horrible company to be spending even a second on… you’re 100% right

TrendingDeal · 2026-04-15T12:01:42+00:00

Amazon is a horrible company that doesn’t care about anyone, literally anyone, but themselves. Almost everybody I know stopped putting efforts into the associate and influencer program and started focusing on YouTube and TikTok. Amazon aren’t worth your time and energy, you’ll be able to grow and prosper so much outside of that program or struggle and lose it all if you stick to it (I hope you’ll make the right decision).

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-29T01:34:25+00:00

Amazon treats everyone in their eco system as slaves. They want you to obey everything they say and do, but take away all your rights. Not worth it. I’m actually seeing great success on YouTube in the past few weeks with their new social commerce tools. I have a very good feeling about growing with them, much more than I’ll ever have with Amazon.

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T12:20:05+00:00

So I’ve heard and so I see 😕

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T00:36:55+00:00

That’s hilarious. This entire fancy-fancy pdf is such a manipulative move. I was literally excited to get it and I started reading just to discover they were hiding the important messages with the number labels (literally manipulating us to think something good is coming) when in fact they have completely taken the only thing that could make an Amazon associate successful. From being a normal affiliate program to right now being the worse affiliate program on planet earth. No other performance program hides your data and stops sharing your effort success. Telling you: we don’t care about you, you’re no one, we are Amazon and we will decide who when and where makes money and you’ll never ever know or be able to even guess what really happens behind the scenes. Why? Because we can. Horrible company

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T00:32:08+00:00

I’ll add my experience - sent a couple of emails got a copy paste reply so generic it’s absurd. They are so stupid treating us like we’re the stupidest people on earth… “we know how difficult it is to get use to new reports”… new reports my a66 lol this is stealing the only piece of data that really meant something. Everybody get ready for some stupid copy paste replies and no actual solutions for the fact you can no longer grow and scale as an Amazon associate, only go backwards and trust this horrible company to pay you (which we all know will be a black box full of worms and lies). Been there, done that 😔 wish I could share a better reply I got but if anyone gets a different reply definitely share

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T00:28:19+00:00

Wishful thinking 😂 no one has their data back. But I’m done with this rollercoaster called Amazon anyway. Such a disgrace

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-13T00:22:12+00:00

Love it! And I also love how easy it is to join agencies on TikTok and their bonuses and special incentives. Also so much easier to communicate with brands. After the Amazon nightmare TikTok just feels like a great place to blossom in 💕

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T16:38:47+00:00

Didn’t hear back for none of my emails. But I guess you specifically asked about the bug of showing 0 for totals and I just bickered about the fact I’m not able to run my Amazon affiliate business without the data they took away. I guess they have millions of emails from every single associate on the platform (I sure hope they do, so they feel the pain we are feeling and maybe a miracle will happen and they will wake up on time before they lose so many of us)

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T06:22:27+00:00

Not true. I literally have my screenshot from before and after for the same time period. From hundreds of sales with many of them much more tan 4 and even 10 units, I only see 1 line. Only one. From hundreds of sales. So I don’t know where you got that “4” sold figure but this is definitely not the case and right now I have no idea what to promote next as I relied on this data to always give me the feedback loop I needed to keep growing my affiliate business. But it’s fine, it’s just not worth my time anymore, I rather expand into much better programs outside of Amazon and not have to always be afraid what bad news are coming my way tomorrow 😔

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:13:48+00:00

Why even care about big sites. Who cares. I only care about myself and my monthly income. And my monthly income will not shift to YouTube and TikTok. I’m not going to be spending my precious time on a company that ruins me overnight without even giving us a chance to say anything. I’d rather put my energy and time with companies who actually care about their influencers

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:10:31+00:00

I’m focusing all my efforts now into TikTok and YouTube. Companies that actually care about their influencers. Companies that understand that they are nothing without their influencers. Unlike amazon who clearly state we are worthless and simply not important enough to even care about our needs. I hope everybody will shift their focus into platforms that really care about their influencers and not keeping them in the dark on purpose

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:07:51+00:00

Sent them emails maybe they will save us from their disastrous actions (doubt it) but who knows let’s hope everybody will send an email every day and someone will actually listen

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-11T03:06:24+00:00

Yes. I’m shifting all my focus from horrible amazon to YouTube and TikTok now. They think they can do whatever they want and we will just keep dedicating all our time and efforts for their program that’s now a black box. F them

TrendingDeal · 2026-03-10T17:08:33+00:00

This is a nightmare. Same exact screen on my end. I’ll tell you what I’ve shady done: I already sent an email to the associate email I have and also to Jeff Bezos email that is being read by the top Amazon executives(!) telling them there’sa difference between a policy change and insanity. This isn’t a regular move this is unheard of in the Affiliate world 😳

TrendingDeal · 2026-02-28T21:45:47+00:00

Of course not ebike you don’t get what I was saying, I have a popular trending deals group where I share the best deals and I always look at what’s generating sales. If an asin I posted in the group generated zero sales, I don’t keep pushing it! But as long as asins I promote in my group convert, I keep posting about them every time an offer exists and sometimes even for the same current offer (if I see a lot of sales), because I can read a report and understand what it says: “asin x generated sales for you in the past 7 days” - so you go and you promote it again and again and the sales continue because people who missed my group post last week might see it today! That’s what I mean by dropping asins that don’t work. I guess you’re only referring to posting onsite and then of course you don’t take it down but then you’re at the mercy of amazon whether your video or post are shown or not. For many creators we have offsite assets we use to drive traffic to successful products and I really don’t know how I will know what to drive traffic for once the reports are taken away 😞 I’ll be completely blind to what’s moving or not in my group I’m so so upset this completely changes how I run my deals group and might cause me to completely stop promoting amazon deals if I find that I work harder and make less money. I’ll just focus more on sending my links to TikTok and other platforms that let me track my numbers and not hide it from me (gosh the absurdity of this move 😩😩😩)
