The affiliate link affects the way some of us see the recommendation. In turn this reduces the contribution of you comment. It's kind of an internalized spam filter. I would never downvote you for it, and I'm not saying you're wrong to put it in, I'm just trying to explain how some of us here will see it. I'm more likely to check out the link if (a) you have nothing to gain and (b) I've seen great design work you've done. Without that I usually can't be bothered.
