   The full text of the comment is available on BigQuery, but I can't write an SQL query that returns all comments containing potential book titles. To do such an analysis I'd need to download all 8M comments and process them individ

   I see the case for having a disclosure section that informs about affiliate links and don't mind adding that. But quite frankly, everyone who knows about affiliate programs can see that the links to Amazon contain that tag. No redirect

   That page isn't linked in this post. I don't know that site and won't click that link to find out what it is about.

    Yes, that is probably the case. Quoting from the post "Amazon is often the goto website for referring books, but many books have dedicated homepages as well as pages pages on their publisher's website. Moreover, many freely availa

    As mentioned in the post Amazon is often the goto website for linking books, I've never seen a link to Barnes and Noble on HN, Reddit or the like. I took care to make clear that this is a limited sample and didn't claim generaliza

    The counts would be a lot higher I guess, if I searched for book titles instead of links to a particular shop.

    Cool project! Do you mind telling which library or service you used for the named entity recognition?

    If the comment contained a link to amazon, then no. If only the title was mentioned then yes.

    The "I don't want to pay for content and all ads are evil" mindset is not really sustainable. For me affiliate links are the least obtrusive form of advertising on the web I'm aware of. Thanks for your comment and apprec

    Do you accept any form of advertising on the web?

    Discounting multiple links by the same user is a good idea. Your seconds suggestion brings some rather complex problems, for example if a comment goes like "Code Complete is the worst book I ever read" it is certainly not an endor
