Am I the only one who would actually prefer these Amazon links to be affiliate links?
Affiliate links make me feel like I'm paying back the curator(s) for the awesome recommendations I'm thankful for. However minor that might be.
Do people feel like recommendations would be biased if the links were affiliate links?
- dmix 9y agoFor YC? Eh I wouldn't really care. But if they set up affiliate links for EFF or Tor then that'd be a nice touch.
- capocannoniere 9y agoI'd be more than happy if the proceeds went to ACLU or Watsi or one of the YC non-profits
- davidw 9y agoYes! I completely feel this way when it's someone at all 'reasonable' (ie not a spammer).
- rch 9y agoI just created a list with a reminder for next time I'm at my local bookstore.

- vblord 9y agoI donate all my smile bucks to the Youth Competitive Programming Circle.
- dionidium 9y agoPeople seem to be really passionate about this topic, but they might as well try to convince me to hate the color orange. The arguments make zero sense to me. Affiliate links don't affect me one way or the other.
- petra 9y agoWhy does everything has to revolve around money ? What's wrong with showing some appreciation and sharing some knowledge when your turn comes ?
- davidw 9y agoWell, in this case if you were going to share anyway, why not send some of that money to somewhere other than Jeff Bezos' pockets, be it yourself or a charity?
