Nothing wrong with affiliate links if you&#x27;re a regular user of this site: we&#x27;re capitalists here.  I make sure to include them if I link to a book, because I could use the money more than Jeff Bezos.  Of course, I don&#x27;t link to stuff just for the sake of linking to it, but only do so if I would have anyway. I think it&#x27;s pretty clear whether someone is a spammer or not.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;user?id=hullo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;user?id=hullo</a> seems to be the person who included some links. They have clearly been here a while, participates constructively, and doesn&#x27;t seem to spew out a lot of affiliate links (any, actually, that I can see).
