Within reason I think you can basically share any link, but there's probably a much higher than normal concentration of people that would prefer a tracking-less amazon.tld link here than elsewhere.

Ah, sorry about that, forgot my extension did that

I am wondering, why would you share affiliate link (;tag=robstah78-20;) instead of the direct link to the item ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CLVEQCO )? The direct link is just barely longer and probably even faster to make (at least on the desktop)

Are you hoping to just make some money from strangers? You cannot get much commission from the $1.50 item, so I am imagining you hope someone clicks on your link and then buys unrelated expensive item.. This feels really sleazy, does this bring you any actual money?

His other comment mentioned an "extension" so it's possible that he himself isn't responsible.
