I suspect that some Affiliate programs are fraudulent (not tracking to the point of sale); that social media would be nowhere without the support of the public. Google have kindly supplied the site free. They have made billions thanks to you the public.

Google could reward contributors by placing a banner on the photos, the proceeds going to the photographer. Likewise anyone embedding the code on placing a YouTube video on their site should be rewarded with any sales made from the banners on the videos; or a percentage shared with the person owning the video.
