After playing the game of the delicious bait, for more than one year, by sharing two referral links at the bottom of my posts, today I am finally removing them both. They were referring to one of the biggest and most popular crypto exchanges and to one of the most popular bitcoin faucets.
Sharing those links gave me zero (0) referral, lol. The reasons could be many but I am not going to analyze them now. I have a list of them in my head so if anyone is interested at all, we could start a nice and probably fruitful discussion.
There were only two-three interactions so far. One from a guy who was providing his negative feedback of that particular exchange (not related at all to the theme of the post) and a couple of automatic comments by a bot, picking up the name of the crypto-exchange. I definitely do not want nor need that. :)
So, as of today, instead of providing free advertisement to these two services, I am putting links to two other portfolios, and these are the three main places where my works could be seen and licensed, and I certainly can say that these three sites are were I publish new stuff regularly.
So, I suppose you have figured out the short answer, for myself, of course, to the question in the title and it is "No".
I would love to find out what your personal experience is, with regards to those referral links, shared on public networks.
