>> What if the site is genuinely useful, though?

I'm perfectly fine with that. Serious Eats uses affiliate links (and also has other advertising on their site). I have a ton of respect for the work it takes to do what they do.

What I'm not okay with is someone building tons of Wordpress sites and filling them with stock photos of food and recipes they found online, and linking to Amazon.

Yes, hopefully those sites will not be successful because they do not provide any value to consumers. I don't see how sites like that could get high rankings on search engines, though. Who actually wants to see those? Then again, I know nothing about SEO.
