I'm sad to see a popular account suddenly start overly promoting specific products. Like I get it, but it still makes me sad.

are they linking affiliate links or promoting closed source stuff or something?
Affiliate links. I think I'm just annoyed because their posts are less fun/entertaining then they used to be. Maybe it's just temporary.
hope so. i hear ya. i personally don't have a problem with affiliate links to quality products and services that someone uses and stands by, it can help sponsor more good content. but when it becomes a majority of the platform, then i get suspicious it's just affiliate marketing and the actual core of the business is who pays the most.
