So alot of YouTubers such as MKBHD, Austin Evans, LinusTechTips, etc. have comments like this:
Person
Wow this product is amazing! Check it out: amzn.to/referrallink
What you don't know is:
They are actually Amazon referral links... and you guessed it! They get money. But how much?
Let's find out:
First off: They get 4-8% of your purchase - these YouTubers review expensive gaming products / expensive products.
***MATH TIME!!!***
The average cost is $250.
250 / 100 is $2.50
$2.50 * 6 is 15.
So... they get about $15 every time someone buys from that link. Please don't encourage this - and definitly report it, and don't click on the link. If we get lucky, they will stop.
Please spread the word <3
