A little math

The Main Street America website says they have over 1600 affiliates and have been around 45 years. 

1600 divided by 45 years is 35.555. Divide that by twelve and it's just under three new affiliates per month on average.

That's not a lot, really.

If nine affiliates abandoned them every single day, they could be gone in six months.

That's also not a helluva lot, really.
