I think general affiliate links are pretty safe, maybe they might incentivize content creators to hype up products that are more expensive (so they get a bigger cut) though.

Unless handled very carefully, using affiliate links damages my perception of the writer's integrity. When money's on the line, maybe their motivation for writing wasn't to share their experience of finding the best product for the lowest price. In rare cases, like the AppliedScience youtube channel, the quality of content is so high that the affiliate links in descriptions don't tarnish my esteem for the guy.
