Say we're looking at $500 per sale @ 10% Amazon commish = $50 a sale for just the monitors/graphics cards he's pimping. But it's a 30 day cookie and many here have Amazon prime, so we'll call it $100.

Say the number 1 spot on HN gets him 10,000 views. 1% buy rate:

10,000 views * 0.01 buy rate * $100 commish per user = $10,000

Dudes expected to bank 10k from this single post.

Guess that explains why he doesn't write about USB sticks.

Last time I checked an Amazon cookie lasts about 24 hours. Also, honestly what is your problem with his Amazon affiliate ? It is not like you are forced to buy a monitor if you follow his link. I'm more interested in what he has to say than in actually buying a display now.
