I’m curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?

These posts are coming from users that don’t have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.

I would like to see these posts banned, but I’m curious how the rest of the community feels.

    On a side note, have you considered affiliate links to support the site? I’m usually against them, but if it would help the site and they are genuinely good products that everyone here supports, then I wouldn’t be averse to using them. Although I believe affiliate links are not as lucrative as they used to be.
