these are exciting new goalposts you’ve decided on! i, too, think that any article that is different from how i would’ve written it is a listicle.

Columnists don't add affiliate parameters but they're incentivized or required to place the base links there by the publication they work for. Would you prefer that I clap like a seal at every punkwashed mainstream opinion piece? I'd rather not.
