Given that I found about Hired through product hunt, and actually went through the service to find a job I was looking for, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s fair to label praise for a useful service as content marketing. The product helped me, and I am promoting it to others. There is also no shame in using affiliate links when you are promoting a service that you have and would use yourself. However, I can see that the existence of affiliate links makes certain readers uncomfortable, so I will post a disclosure of that fact (even though it is evident once you click the link).
