For many years, I've had the feeling that Amazon basically felt like they didn't need affiliates. As they become more and more of a default shopping choice, they generate their own traffic. And with Covid, I think they've shifted to lower margin products and more marketplace sales. So some cuts were inevitable.
Groceries are interesting. That change seems overdue. For a long time, Amazon said their problem was encouraging adoption. In that sense, inflated commission that may result in a loss on each sale makes sense. Now they are struggling to meet demand, so paying people to send them more traffic doesn't make sense.

Probably in MLM networks too. But that's desperation speaking, not opportunity. Affiliate applications are probably both. People who have no clue thinking they can close the income gap with affiliate sales, on the one hand, and on the other affiliate who know what they are doing but who see niches that are booming while their bread and butter niches may be flagging
