Amazon to no longer pay for paid search referrals

Since Amazon was paying these associates a percentage of sales, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Amazon financed it?

Amazon only paid out if the keyword successfully translated into sales. Thus they only paid if it worked - the affiliate ate the cost if the keyword failed.
