Affiliate programs are the most anti-big corp monetization strategy ever.

Considering I already buy books on Amazon, if there's anyway I can just find an affiliate (any affiliate), Amazon gets 5.5% less revenue.

For tracyhenry, they would get ~$8.25 CAD straight out of Amazon's pocket for my $150 purchase.

Amazon would get even less revenue if you bought your books somewhere else, like https://bookshop.org/ or directly from an independent book store.

You can use Pi-holes' monetization link.
