Wordpress: Haha, we've got to keep the lights on somehow, so free websites will have Skimlinks embedded sometimes :-)
Also Wordpress: monetises every single book purchase link I put on that site, which will block anyone with an adblocker and also redirect anyone who still somehow clicks through to the Skimlinks website instead of the book's store page
Yeah, thanks, great job fucking all of us over, guys.
Like, this is supposed to be some sort of affiliate link, but it's not even working, and also the opt-out function is broken, and they will constantly keep re-embedding themselves even if I manually take out the code. Who benefits from this. How is this "keeping the lights on" when it isn't even working properly >.>
