It is always good to know when someone is profiting financially from a recommendation they're giving you.

- davidivadavid 11y agoSure, I'll buy that in principle. But wouldn't you agree that it mostly matters if someone is recommending some shady financial product or otherwise high-ticket item? What's the worse that could happen when someone makes (text)book recommendations? Affiliate links are also a good way to compensate people for curating valuable information. So the sort of "it goes without saying affiliate links are bad" attitude is kind of a mystery to me.
