Amazon has slashed the prices for affiliate programs, which means less money for the members starting April 21. The new email notification to Amazon Associates says,

This could impact not only the websites but also media outlets and other individuals who rely on Amazon’s affiliate program to make money. It is still not sure if the changes were made due to coronavirus pandemic; however, there have been quite a few changes to Amazon’s operations due to covid-19.

Due to the global outbreak, companies like Amazon had to focus on the supply of medical and cleaning products.
