- jfornear 17y agoI don't doubt that, just keep in mind how sensitive "geeks" are when it comes to advertising, affiliate links, etc. :) You could just add a disclaimer like: "I use Amazon Affiliate links to link to books I like."
- fnid2 17y agoI made the same argument against these ads when a prominent VC used them and the hackers here jumped to support him.
- prgmatic 17y agoThis is true. The last thing I want to do is offend the community. I would use your disclaimer suggestion, but the few dollars that my Amazon link would generate is not worth offending HN readers. Getting feedback, creating discussions, and contributing to the community is more important here. Thanks for the suggestion.
