This is a weird and happy update.
Back in March of 2022, I received a bit of bad news. Amazon ended my Associate account. This ended an important source of revenue for my website. It also caused a headache; I had to go back and remove all affiliate links to Amazon. Well, as painful as it was, an agreement is an agreement.
Last month, I vaguely mentioned this in a post, and amazingly, Amazon reached out to reinstate my account! This is great. I really appreciate the extra effort and being invited back to promote items I already use.
So, we are back on with the Amazon Ads. As I previously stated, all ads will be clearly marked. I am in the process of going back through some (limited) posts to re-add previously removed ads.
Since it was so painful to remove said ads, I have no intention of slapping ads into a ton of old posts. You will mostly see these appear in book reviews and posts where I specifically mention Amazon as a source. I am 100% certain you will see ads on books, just like you do for DriveThruRPG. I am much less likely to plug in an ad where a casual mention of Amazon is made.
I like my sources of goods to be diversified, and you should, too. If I say a brand name and you see it somewhere else, by all means, use that other source. Be loyal, don't be inflexible.
