Hey @steemcleaners, you recently downvoted one of my posts for including affiliate links. I don't think it should be your job to tell us if we can share our favorite products with people and get credit for it. Seriously, it was not cool to see my power go up on a post for once, and then for it to go down to $0. It felt terrible.
Please take responsibility and undo that downvote and perhaps fix your bot to not do that again.
You can't include affiliate links? I wonder what the reasoning for that is?
Exactly, seems like it would deter a lot of popular personalities from using
Are we not capitalists!?
Haha, we sure are.
I thought Steemit was about freedom, but after coming here it feels like, administrator is doing what ever they want. If this would remain the same, steemit is not going to be in main stream media ever.
I wonder if it has to do with legal issues in the United States. Just as copyright violations are illegal (and could result in take down notices sent to Steemit, inc by the government), isn't it illegal to include affiliate links without disclosing that fact? It could also just be people complaining about affiliate spam on Steemit and not wanting the rewards pool to fund people's advertising spam.
(and now I probably just broke the law for pasting that image without linking to the source... because I forgot where I first saw it)
