I'm curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?

These posts are coming from users that don't have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.

I would like to see these posts banned, but I'm curious how the rest of the community feels.

Sometimes it's useful, just don't use THEIR links. :) LOL. Just reported like 4 of them.

Someone posted the other night that America's Test Kitchen has a cookbook that covers all 23 seasons of the show, so I opened my Amazon app, found it on my own along with the matching Cook's Country book and bought both of them.
