It is a sad fact of life that most affiliates have no idea why they're recommending a product, other than the large potential commission.

This is spot on. Many times, I've run across a blog, and the writer makes a "review" of the hosting company. It's not the same as how a provider would advertise. At the same time, the affiliate is not invested in the product, or even cares about how the company is. They just want the commission.
Personally, I think affiliates should care more about the product they are selling. Especially when if the company does bad, then their sales go down.
