Hard to read tone in text-only messages, isn't it?
I'd actually like an answer. I have no problem with the affiliate links at all (though the listicle-like gallery presentation is awkward on mobile), and would legitimately like to know if there are any real-world examples of affiliate links making money when targeting a specific community. I had affiliate links all over (organically, not in ad form) when I ran a popular SharePoint community, and I think I made ~$300 total in the year I had the links active. HN "feels" like a larger community than my old SharePoint community was, so the answer to My GP's query is interesting from an academic sense.
