>Why would it diminish the recommendation?
Because they're getting paid to recommend it, which is inherently dishonest. That should be obvious.
And why link to Amazon at all? Link to the manufacturer instead:

- thomaslord 6y agoTo be fair, they're getting paid to recommend buying it through Amazon. Sure there might be an incentive to link a higher-priced laptop to get a larger commission, but in terms of Lenovo-vs-some-other-brand I don't see any incentive for bias.
- libertine 6y agoNo it's not dishonest, he did a pretty simple comment. It's his recommendation, it doesn't say he is working for Lenovo, or Amazon. If he can be paid to generate money for Amazon and Lenovo, because he recommended someone to a product on a specific platform, why shouldn't he collect it? If it was a Lenovo shill that linked to Lenovo shop then that would be fine, because it didn't have a referral link?
- encom 6y agoAre you looking for a cloud provider? I can think of no better provider than Digital Ocean™. Get your half-assed web app up and running in minutes with Digital Ocean™, using this easy to remember URL. https://m.do.co/c/79e624bd349b https://m.do.co/c/79e624bd349b Of all the providers I've tried, Digital Ocean™ is definitely the okayest.
- libertine 6y agoI'm already a customer of Digital Ocean. Also I didn't ask for any recommendation, so what you did there is pretty much spam.
- encom 6y agoI don't know if you have a web app or not, or to what extent is has been assed, but regardless of where on the scale from zero to fully assed your app is, you can feel secure that it will be competently hosted by Digital Ocean™.
