RE: Flag all scams/referral links/shit you can find!
Referral programs are not always inherently bad. Pretty much every company has one. This includes Amazon, local bitcoins, eBay, ect. Are these companies scams?
If somebody makes a VALUABLE post reviewing a service, creating a tutorial, or providing other useful information there is no reason they should not be able to post an affiliate link for the product/service they used to get a commission. I don't use bitconnect, but it's not my business if other people want to.
Agreed, but posts based PURELY on referral advertisements are not okay. Let's look at an example:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@babarkhudai/100-instant-payment
It's obviously a scam and the steemian is only advertising it because of the referral link he added to it. That's what I meant with the referral link advertisers.
And I completely agree that it's okay to add a referral link to a valuable post, but there's only a small percentage of these scam advertisement posts that's actually valuable. Most of them are pure referral link advertisements, like the one above.
