It bears repeating explicitly I think: you're not working against today's analysis tools, you're working against whatever analysis tools exist far into the future, since everything is recorded for eternity.

I've seen the theme of "maintainer of popular open source product is threatened by person who doesn't understand it's just a component" show up a few times, but when I think about it most those times have been related to curl specifically. Maybe it's because of the domain haxx.se? Or maybe Daniel just writes about it a lot? Does this kind of thing happen so regularly to others?

I think you should clarify what you mean by "links" as it wasn't clear to me. I assume you mean random things people want to share?
Re:Amazon disallows pointing out paid reviews

Which food delivery apps do you have in mind? In my experience they are heavily engineered towards leaving only positive reviews, and as a result the range of scores is 4.0-5.0 rather than 1-5. Ubereats says things like "this review will be public with your name", and the timing of the review prompt and wording of the question all feels like it's trying to optimize the chance of a positive review.

Wait, GDPR only applies to third party cookies? Surely companies can just do the same tracking from their own domain.
