Primarily seem to have their affiliate management run through a 3rd party 'affiliate network' as oppose to a 3rd party billing processor like we have in the adult industry?

The last few days i have been checking a lot of non-adult affiliate programs and they all seem to use ClickBank to run their programs instead of their own software or a 3rd party billing processor.

Although, i will say, payouts in mainstream seem to be much higher when it comes to individual products and even some membership based sites.

Do you think it is a trust issue from mainstream affiliates, or do you think there is more to it than that?
