They call it a deal.
They don't disclose it's an affiliate link.
Some Twitter deal hunters share products as solutions without disclosing that those links are affiliate links. You pay full price. They earn 5–40% per sale without your knowledge.
Stop rewarding deception.
The deceptive tactics used by unethical deal hunters
Affiliate marketing isn't the problem.
Deception is.
Affiliate marketing is a legitimate, ethical, and valuable business. Honest creators recommend products they believe in, disclose their affiliate relationships openly, and earn a fair commission for the trust they've built. That's work worth respecting and supporting.
The violators who hide their commissions and mislead their audience aren't just breaking the law—they drag the reputation of an entire honest industry through the mud. Call out the deception, not the practice.
Now that you know.
Here's what to do instead.
Stop clicking undisclosed affiliate links. Support transparent platforms that require full disclosure—just like ethical creators should.
Notice the difference?
These platforms require full disclosure of affiliate relationships. You know exactly who profits and how much. That's the ethical standard that many responsible creators follow—and it's what unethical deal hunters refuse to do. Support transparency. Reward integrity. Now you know the difference.
Don't fund deception.
