Thanks for bringing this up. This issue has been really itchy for a while for me personally. There is no way to trust reviews of anything online anymore. In the past, I have been relying on online reviews and feel smart, now I feel I'm dumb if I trust online reviews. In a perfect world, the ones who earn referral bonuses have to disclose, but I don't think that is going to happen. So I think there needs to be a reverse trend: The ones who don't earn referral bonuses need to tell their audience so. Same as if you think GMO food is harmful and there isn't enough regulation to make GMO food to be properly labeled, then you should advertise your GMO-free/organic food as a selling point. I have a free software project that needs hardware purchased. So I listed the BOM with unaffiliated links on Amazon, and the message: >All the links above on Amazon are not affiliated and are linked for reference only. You are encouraged to search for better prices elsewhere and buy at local stores to support their businesses. Usually, MicroCenter has better prices on the Pi and the touchscreen. > >If you buy on Amazon, I would encourage you to use http://smile.amazon.com http://smile.amazon.com and select a charity of your choice (If you don't have one in mind, please consider the Free Software Foundation/FSF and the Electronic Frontier Foundation/EFF). People asked why don't I have affiliated links, and I said money isn't what I look for running this project. I'm basically running a social experiment with my project, and having fun with it. I guess for once I can say I am the change I want to see in the world.
