Re:Live feed to stay on top of Silicon Valley Bank events on Sunday March 12, 2023 @03:36PM (#35125115)
To help stay on top of things from multiple sources, I've set up a quick stream (updated every 15min) with the discussions happening around the web.

If you'd like a daily digest via email or a live RSS feed, let me know.

This can work, but you lose click tracking and most SaaS companies don't have a coupon input box or want to discount their product. Also, you end up on all the shady coupon sites pretty quickly.
How would you know if someone clicked and/or converted if it wasn't tracked? Sounds like smoke & mirrors to me.
Do you have any proof that the named systems don't properly record conversions? Sounds like a hoax as Rewardful ties directly into the payment processor. Ad-blockers do (or will) block tracking scripts from every provider, open source or not, once they reach enough scale to get on their radar. Although there's always ways around them if you know what you're doing.
Have you ever considered that most affiliates wouldn't have the technical chops to audit the code? Even if they did, they wouldn't waste their time.

Affiliate or Partner programs typically work better for B2B than customer referral programs. But, like anything, depends on a lot of factors.
