If you look at the link in the piece, you'll notice it isn't an affiliate link. If it were an affiliate link, it would have a linkcode section, or more likely just use the amzn.to link shortener that Amazon automatically applies to all its affiliate links unless you stop it.

(source: I am the OP, I do have an Amazon affiliate link, and I chose not to use it in the article to avoid concerns like this one)

Dang, sorry to wrongly call you out then! I saw "sr=8-2-spons" in the link which looked sponsor-related. But looking online, referral links generally have a tag parameter.
