Apple slashes affiliate app commissions


Apple:

Starting on May 1st 2017, commissions for all app and in-app content will be reduced from 7% to 2.5% globally. All other content types (music, movies, books, and TV) will remain at the current 7% commission rate in all markets. We will also continue to pay affiliate commissions on Apple Music memberships so there are many ways to earn commissions with the program.

That seems a drastic adjustment. I wonder if this may be related WWCD? The affiliate economy seems to have ran its course years ago, so it could just be Apple tightening its belt.
