You don't have full control because you're depending on the network and other affiliates, so sometimes things go wrong. Payments can get delayed, lowered, or even denied, which is super annoying. There's also a ton of competition, so standing out isn't easy. Plus, if you promote stuff your audience doesn't care about, it can make you look bad. And the rules? Pretty strict where you can mess up and you could get kicked out.

Sometimes you end up with shady affiliates who use spammy stuff and make your brand look bad. There's also a lot of competition, so it's tough to get noticed. Fees and commissions can sneak up and eat into your profits, too. Keeping track of who's doing well can get messy, and you're kinda stuck following the network's rules, which can change out of nowhere. Basically, they're helpful, but you gotta watch out
