@Matthew aliex links make quite bit of nice sideincome for reviewers and youtube/twitch bitches

and quite bit of people here get their product suggestions straight from youtubes echochamber

Again, please send me to the part of aliexpress where I can see where I'm making money from sharing the .click link here, as opposed to jumping through hoops to get the "clean" link

https://portals.aliexpress.com/ there you go

jump on this dick fag

or the 2 other methods they give people to use their links to make money

cant remember those urls from top of my head

So it's something I have to register/activate? And until I do, it's totally benign from a monetization/referral standpoint?

Sweet, cool

@Matthew most likely yes unless it uses someone elses affiliate codes if you dont have yours (what you have clicked somewhere accidently or intentionaly

it still buts that identifier there for some reason

and i doubt it whips it from thin air

so all you know you could be supporting some <insert hated group here> person without you knowing

So, what you're saying is basically "even though this isn't actually making you any money, I am going to autismally complain about it regardless, because it's possible that it could"?

and spreading that affiliation ID like malware if it works like some of those cookies do

@Matthew nope im stating that we cant know if the person using s.clicks is indeed clean or dirty unless someone bothers doing some heavy lifting and finding out how alis bullshit works for sure

Well, since you're such a galaxy brain, feel free to add something to porco bot to strip .click links. Until, suck my penis <:hahayes:330459104495665153>

and matthew ran out of arguments again

aww

referral links of any sort (including tracking ones) benefit the chinks

and therefore are bad and should be stripped

The bot used to have the functionality to strip them. It's not like I'm against it being reenabled or reimplemented. I'm just saying I'm not going to bust my ass to share something on ali here when I'm phoneposting

Freudian slip???

it worked until they changed something about s.click links

in order to strip them, the bot has to actually follow the link

which wasn't the case before

can't just do `https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/6hd4KBQ` -> `https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32744767076.html` without wondering wtf happens to `6hd4KBQ`

but if you're willing to find out, i can (or you can) implement it in porcobot fairly easily

Huuuuh gay bot

uh well i updated it on github to be what the bot is actually running right now

it checks m.aliexpress and aliexpress.com

uh the non-cleaned message of that was like 300 characters

crazy
