  That doesn't answer the question. Will more people clicking the link help the person that shared the link somehow?

    I don’t believe it does anything. Times just lets you share 10 non-paywalled stories/mo. It’s not like a referral link or anything.

      It's clearly tied to the account that does the sharing, so internally they must track that. what they track that for is another question but I don't know the answer to that.

        They track that so you don't share more than 10 stories a day. The tinfoil hat is handy but jesus christ my dude.
