- dmor 14y agoMaybe you didn't read the actual post, but it consists of original content - I created my own hand selected list of Seattle companies to watch. I included links to other articles as sources but they don't contain the same content. Affiliate revenue is not "profiteering", it's running a business. You do realize that all the sites with ads on them probably make more per pageview generated by Hacker News than Referly does, right?
