It tosses in the incentive to start recommending things based on how valuable the affiliate link would be,diluting the value of the recommendations

As a general rule, I steer away from review sites, and instead I look for professionals using the product. For example I follow some photographers, carpenters, etc, and see what equipment they use for themselves and why they use it. They are not reviewing products, they are using them and posting a list of products for my convenience.
If I decide to buy the same equipment, I see nothing wrong using their affiliate links.

This is where I'd like to get to.

OT: I checked your profile but couldn't find an email to contact you. It'd be cool if I can ping once a while to get feedback on where the project is heading.

I hate ads and every other scheme to extort money from people, but I have no problem with affiliate links and do not understand why would someone have a problem with them. Could you, or someone else who thinks like this explain what problem you have with affiliate links?
Thanks.
