“Partners” are people you could invite to site around a conference table with you. For it to be a partnership, you need to be able to have a meaningful discussion among all the different partners. 800ish is even too big for an auditorium where you’re presenting to all your “partners”. 800ish is a small arena.
I get what you’re saying, but that’s what it’s called in business. They are usually called “affiliates” more formally, and theyy provide ancillary income to a business. The whole thing is a partnership - I give you traffic and you give me some money if they convert.

800ish entities is not “partners”.

Those aren’t partners.

Yeah, but it’s bullshit and I’m calling it out, and I’ll continue to call it out, so stop it.
