Covers the business side of affiliate work: deal structures, GEO tiers, media buying teams and the fraud that eats into commissions. Builds pieces on public programme terms, company filings and named sources, and says plainly when a figure comes from a single affiliate rather than the market. Tomás Rivera is an AFFHOUSE desk byline: pieces under this name are researched and drafted with AI tools, then edited and fact-checked by the editorial team before publication.
