[–] nana_gb 11y ago ↗ The link to Amazon Prime in that article is an affiliate link. Here's the part that gives it away ?tag=slicinc-20If this was intentional it's basically an ad for Amazon without a disclosure.If it was unintentional, they just linked to amazon with a random person's amazon affiliate link, and probably made them quite a bit of cash. [–] nana_gb 11y ago ↗ Update: It looks like the author of the article, found the deal via slickdeals and used it on Techcrunch without realizing it was an affiliate link.It's been removed with an attribution link to slickdeals added at the bottom of the article.
