Oh yeah, that’s a good idea. We’ll have to do that. We’ve been debating setting up Amazon affiliate links to the books in the episode descriptions. We were going to wait until we were a little bigger, but after today we might have to speed up those conversations, haha.
- opello 2y agoI can appreciate supporting the effort, but the "stickiness" of Amazon affiliate links seem pretty pernicious. I briefly tried to find a source for this and failed, but my understanding is that the affiliate can see any product purchased while the affiliation through the link is active, which is something like a 24 hour timeout or another link for a different affiliate is used. Maybe my perspective is out of date, if so my apologies, but that seems like a net negative contribution to personal privacy of viewers. Edit: This video humorously discusses the "leakage" I think of as bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2PYgjgDdWg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2PYgjgDdWg
- carterdmorgan 2y agoYeah, definitely not my area of expertise. We’ll need to explore it further and make sure there’s nothing sketchy before making a decision.
- lokar 2y agoYou can always provide two versions of each link (affiliate/direct)
- carterdmorgan 2y agoGood idea. Now that I think of it, I've seen other creators do something similar.
