Affiliate link spam.

No. Affiliate link spam is when someone fills a page with content they stole, or it’s a bunch of nonsense that is stuffed to the brim with keywords, and they combine that with affiliate links.

Someone getting a dollar or two in return for you following an affiliate link after you read something they put real time and effort into to make it valuable info for others is not “affiliate link spam”.

  • I’m fine with useful content linking to affiliate links too. I am still confused at the ram specs required and those they linked to being off by a factor of 2 though. IF the setup is not realistic or accurate then that wouldn’t be cool.

    • Few people would spend $6k to run a model locally on CPU. But lower it to $2k and you might get some sweet affiliate link commissions. And make it fuzzy so they don't get it is running so quantized it probably is useless.

  • This is a lame me-too page to make money with affiliate links. The actual specs were in the linked original tweet. So, IMHO, it is affiliate link spam.
