Show HN: ProductHunt as it was meant to be (hotdogpunk.com)

ProductHunt has had a referrer parameter at the end since the beginning of the lunch (2013) and I am wondering if this is good practice.

It may be a benefit to the issuer's marketing, but not to the consumer.

The reason is that consumers manually remove the parameter `?ref=foo` when they bookmark or share a page correctly as a courtesy to the product developer.

I like Hotdog Punk, It's enough as alt PH.

I just question the practice that has been going on for over a decade. I am eagerly awaiting a new alternative technology that puts developers first.
