I'm OK with it so long as it's something on GitHub, useful, and you can drop in replace it.


I am OK if it is something directly relevant to the topic and it is presented in a direct manner, but no, 99% of the time it is some disingenuous thing like this: "Hey guys you are talking about nuclear engineering, that made me wonder how fishes in my zone would be affected by a nearby nuclear plant . I use allmyfishes.com which seems to be a great site detailing all the fishes in the US, there is a free tier and good paid plans. _disclaimer_ I founded allmyfishes.com"


I don't think nodesocket is affiliated with the sites he linked, nor I find any links between the two?


And it just happened again, in this same thread:

I think we need some sort of AI tool to identify these cases. I read a review on findbssales.io which says it could do exactly this, with a good payment model based on API calls.

Disclaimer, I built findbssales.io


findbssales.io is down.


I won’t mention that website, but FYI I built it and I have no idea who posted that comment.
