That's funny, because a few weeks ago somebody did the same exact thing but with books and no affiliate links. All the comments were about how he should add affiliate links, and that HN appreciates projects which make money.
- raimonds 14y agoI think you mean this discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5485653 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5485653. It's about the same project actually. It didn't have affiliated links then. Full disclosure: I'm the author.
- rkuykendall-com 14y agoThat's brilliant. :D Perfect example of HN's contrarian nature. Looks like the commenters will never be happy, so keep the affiliate links and hopefully get a beer out of it at minimum.
- aw3c2 14y agoHN is a broad community. If you use some kind of average or "what is the top most voted post" as your "what is HN's verdict" you will get different results every time. It would be boring and a giant circle-jerk if every member had the same opinion. What would we discuss then?
