Affiliate spam on web hosting forums

[SenseiSteve]

Have you seen web hosting forums that are overrun with threads like:

“I’m interested in xxxwx.com hosting and yoyyy.com hosting. Which is best?”

And then a typical reply will be like -

"I think you should try qwxyz.com hosting or lmnzop.com hosting.”

And then pages and pages of that garbage (just one affiliate post after another).

I mean I guess some people must love that stuff, but to me, it's a complete waste. There are no honest reviews, or none that I would take seriously.

Your thoughts? ...
