Their comment seems much more directed at the incentives and outcomes of affiliate/content marketing than it does at you personally, so it’s weird to pretend it’s a personal attack.
Especially when you underscore the incentive issues with your closing question: if the only reason you can imagine going to the effort of a substantial review is financial incentive, that in itself is a pretty good criticism.
- steve-benjamins 2y agoHe’s not criticizing me he’s criticizing my incentives. Sure. You’re being pedantic, but sure. I’m suggesting a more productive argument would criticize the substance of my article — not my incentives.
- djbusby 2y agoIts not even you being criticized - it's the general blog spam listacle. Now, I'm gonna criticize you for a) not understanding the point up thread and b) taking the general comment too personally.
- sokka_h2otribe 2y agoThere are two people. One is a good person. One is a bad person. BOTH people are distorted by the wrong incentives. It is NOT a question of being pedantic. They're literally not criticizing you when they criticize your incentives. I think this critique is from a board with relatively high percentage of systems-type thinkers.
