I'm surprised there isn't more talk about how Pinterest stopped allowing any links with affiliate codes and started treating anyone that used them like a spammer.

This new integration is cool, it's what they need, but the attack on people using affiliate links is pretty lame.

Affiliate marketers are so good at destroying the web for everyone else (e-mail spam, forum spam, blog comment spam, facebook spam, ...) that I'd not want them on my social platform either.
