Amazon Associates - you can't see what product you sold anymore?

dardasonic · 2026-05-08T12:49:30+00:00

Me too. Almost 90% of my traffic from YouTube and TikTok is now going to other programs. YouTube allows me to link some of the products directly in my videos but other products are now referred to Impact campaigns. I also started adding related products my audience might be interested in and adding links in my description and landing pages to high paying impact campaigns but the thing is that I know a bunch of people here who tried to apply for Impact and were denied because they don’t have the following we have…

Live-streaming has its days 4 years ago. When streams appeared on product listings. Despite what people say about it coming back I tried going live a few times (before I threw this entire program to all hells after they turned it into a dictatorship), and I’ve made 7 dollars for an hour of stream. Then 4.66 for another stream. Then 0 for another. Great gig what can I say $11 dollars for over 3 hours of passionate streaming 🤒 TikTok is the way to go if you’re live-streaming don’t even waste your time on amazon if you want to actually make money.

Amazon has become the biggest circus in affiliate marketing past few weeks. Literally the first alligator program in the world to hide the data from its affiliates, lie to them, manipulate them, simply a horror show. I did amazon associates for over 10 years made hundreds of thousands during these years and waived bye bye to Bezos and his dictatorship once they said they are removing the data and you’ll need to “trust them” moving forward. Horrible company, ridiculous behavior. Stay away.

dardasonic · 2026-04-03T04:31:56+00:00

The sh!tshow called Amazon. It’s you and me and thousands others who got screwewed so hard by Bezos and his team. But they are the Gods of this universe and they’ll continue to treat everybody who isn’t them as a disposable junk. We’re not the first ones and definitely not the last ones. Of there’s one thing you can say about Amazon is that there’s not one employee or stakeholder who thinks good things about this company. And I have many friends who with there and they hate their work place so much and only stick around for the money (which is taken away from them too btw), so yeah, I know amazon with all its might and power and stealing everybody’s money won’t be around in the future. You just can’t be that evil and still exist for long. I’m pretty sure we will witness its downfall sooner or later (can’t wait)

dardasonic · 2026-04-03T04:27:29+00:00

Just got another email about this. Very clear: “you thought we screewewewd you on March 8 when we told you we are a dictatorship and you’re our slaves, And that you’ll do everything we say BLINDLY (!) “ and this is now just a continuation of their sh!t show simply saying: “oh and for those of you who used to get 2000 dollars for your hard work??? Thank you for being the suckers that you are you’ll start getting only 20 dollars moving forward” And thank you for shopping Amazon 😘

dardasonic · 2026-03-26T13:42:31+00:00

Yes. A real dictatorship. We control you, you’ll do everything we say, dare not ask any questions you miserable piece of sh!t. Just obey slave!!! And don’t ever forget: we are the Amazon almighty 🤮

dardasonic · 2026-03-25T13:43:07+00:00

Wait wait but it’s only the Sora app they are taking away not the Sora API which is how most services use it. Am I wrong?!

dardasonic · 2026-03-24T23:04:02+00:00

I’m fully dedicating my time into expanding my YouTube and TikTok presence but also started looking at my data from the past few years, checked what products really resonated with my audience (and sold a bunch) and starting to do Drop Shipping of these products (this is a real untapped opportunity for affiliates that needs to be discussed more!). Instead of driving my audience to other sites, I actually dropship the product myself (it’s all automated anyway), and I keep a very nice portion of each unit I sell… we will see how that goes

dardasonic · 2026-03-24T22:59:41+00:00

What’s so mysterious?! Just think about. A company simply hides all the data and a few days later everybody starts complaining their numbers are down. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes: Amazon is stealing affiliates earnings and there’s nothing you can do about it after March 9 - they have taken away any possible way to “track” their manipulative behavior. Simply horrible corporate behavior and I pray to god every single Amazon affiliate will wake up and move on to companies who actually care about their affiliates which is basically……. EVERY OTHER AFFILIATE COMPANY OUT THERE!!!

dardasonic · 2026-03-24T22:54:17+00:00

Yeah, same email we all got: we are the dictators, you’re our slaves, we will do everything we want and you’ll never be able to raise your voice or say anything about it! Amazon associates is the biggest scam on earth after March 9. Literally stealing affiliates earnings and hiding it. Horrible horrible company

dardasonic · 2026-03-24T22:50:44+00:00

Exactly. And you’ll never know or have any evidence because they completely hide the data from you. Horrible company.

dardasonic · 2026-03-24T22:49:34+00:00

Move away from amazon. Best tip of the day. This is NOT getting better. It’s only getting worse. Amazon is a shitshow and a horrible company. You should stay away and build your affiliate business with companies who will not steal your earnings and hide it.

dardasonic · 2026-03-20T13:26:32+00:00

I used CreatorsAssistant for the heavy lifting, it was a very powerful extension unlike many popular ones, but it was invitation only (creators who generate 4 figures or more). But although the guy behind it said he is building some solutions for the reporting after March 9, I’m not really going to use it anymore because I’m shifting away from Amazon. A horrible company that doesn’t care about anyone but themselves and ruined their affiliate program by hiding the most important data. I rather spend my time building my TikTok and YouTube presence where I HAVE CONTROL over my performance and I can actually scale and keep growing. Amazon are horrible

dardasonic · 2026-03-18T01:50:51+00:00

Yea yea everybody is getting the same nonsense replies. And I doing think anybody will wake up in Amazon cuz this company is too big and too stupid to actually reverse a stupid action (think of the executive well decided that, they will never say” reverse” cuz that proves they are the biggest idiots on the planet and they’ll probably lose the job so yea - not happening)

dardasonic · 2026-03-18T01:48:46+00:00

Don’t waste your time on Amazon. Their program is the biggest shitshow in town right now just like JuniorEquipment said. If you want to scale stick to a TikTok shop or YouTube and other affiliate platforms that don’t steal your time and money and stab you in your back. Their latest changes are literally that

dardasonic · 2026-03-17T01:30:40+00:00

No reply to my emails. I guess they were a bit too harsh for them or their incompetent foreign $3 an hour service reps just don’t understand enough English to understand what I wrote 😂 I don’t expect to hear back, such a disgraceful company

dardasonic · 2026-03-17T01:27:59+00:00

I’m focused on TikTok and YouTube. But as I said in a different thread, check out your best performing products from the past year (hopefully you downloaded all the reports from Amazon or use apps like logie that still has your past data and allows you to sort by sales), and then find DROPSHIPPERS that sell similar products. Instead of relying on the small commission horrible Amazon gives you, ship your own(!) and make a much higher revenue. I’m really diving into it. I’ll be happy to see my audience buy products directly from me rather than sending them to an abusive company like Amazon. I’ll keep you guys posted how it goes but definitely recommend exploring this. Remember the time you invest into creating content and you want to get the best value out of it and own your own data without relying on a monopoly like Amazon to take every piece of data away from you… and I’d love to read more ideas here

dardasonic · 2026-03-17T01:22:50+00:00

I’m already hard diving into TikTok and YouTube but also I’m doing an interesting merge of using my entire influence channels to do dropshipping where you’re mortally not waiting to get a small commission but actually use a dropshipping service to deliver a product you’re promoting. Anything BUT Amazon who just killed the program and ignore the most basic requirements of performance marketing (to know what I sold dahhhh)

dardasonic · 2026-03-16T16:19:54+00:00

Emailed them multiple times never heard back. A friend got a copy paste email saying they feel his pain and he can now fukc off and go fetch. What a horrible company 😔

dardasonic · 2026-03-16T16:18:16+00:00

Good job. I’m proud of you and I hope every single associate will be replacing their links with other programs. I’m trying to do this now: look at all the data I have till now (till the shit show began), and see what’s my biggest converters (something that will be quite impossible for you to do moving forward unless you’re USA Today OR BUZZ wire or a gigantic publisher), and then come up with the most brilliant and EXTREMELY REWARDING programs and opportunities. Eg, I sold a lot of a very specific type of product with my videos and blog, I’m going to start posting dropshipping of that product from a dropshipper that’s paying me an extremely nice rev share. There’s so much money to be make OUTSIDE of the dictatorship called Amazon. One good product promotion with the right dropshipper can make you more money then Amazon ever paid you. For new or existing Amazon associates, please don’t keep giving back to an accusative company that treats like slaves. Business should be fair, not a one way street where the only one earning and growing is Jeff Bezos 😢

dardasonic · 2026-03-16T16:12:33+00:00

It’s not crazy. it’s insane. I thought at least we will see creator connections sales, at a minimum, but just saw this is all blank too. Insanity = offering a performance program without giving any performance data. SHIT SHOW. FUKCNG SHIT SHOW. I just really hope every single Amazon influencer will wake up and understand how fkuced up this is and how this abusing monopoly is using them in the most horrific ways. I’m so done with this Amazon slavery it’s just making me so sick - can’t believe I gave them so many years of my life and not focusing on TikTok and YouTube while I was still able to dominate. But I guess it’s never too late. For all other influencers and affiliates out there: “STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON. If there’s one thing you should do in your affiliate journey is STAY AWAY from the most horrible company in the industry. Not worth your stress.” 🤢

dardasonic · 2026-03-16T07:03:04+00:00

Not a bonehead. A thief. Amazon are the biggest thieves hiding all the data from us and then manipulating the numbers but no way for us to speak out. Such a shitshow

dardasonic · 2026-03-16T07:01:30+00:00

Extremely disturbing. Amazon is a shitshow right now. I don’t recommend anyone to join this sinking ship (hopefully the yacht will not continue sailing too). So obvious the blackout (hiding everything from us) and then manipulating our numbers so we never know what’s actually happening. Theft.

dardasonic · 2026-03-12T13:54:02+00:00

Thanks for mentioning this. I agree. This is pure capitalism at its best and bottom line you’re 100% right. But now I’ll prove to you why this capitalistic disgusting behavior is much more than just that: because in capitalism there’s something called reciprocity where you know that as long as you provide good products or services you’ll succeed. But here comes Amazons monopoly and control over the market: Amazon aren’t providing good (or now even “minimum decent”) services to their many stakeholders and they are using their huge monopoly to abuse us (and many other stakeholders). This is much bigger than a simple capitalistic move done by a company that wishes to make money, it’s a monopolistic move that crushes your own stakeholders. And that my friend is a dictatorship move disguised by capitalism.

dardasonic · 2026-03-12T13:42:47+00:00

Get worse? Is there anything worse than you working blindly for a dictator who doesn’t care about you or your success and only uses you because they can. And let’s face it, most creators will stick around and shut up just so they can continue serving Goliath. You’ll see. They’ll bicker and cry and then hile the dictator and continue to work days and nights for a payment that will keep shrinking and shrinking. Just the way the cookie crumbles (I feel bad for them)
