@organicmaps @jake Yes, referral links are a form of advertising. The difference between that and a Facebook link is you don't get kickbacks from Facebook links to incentivize them over competing services.

@organicmaps @jake That discussion does not in any way refute the fact that referral links are a well known form of advertising. The fact the app includes other commercial links (from OSM, no less) does not refute the fact you are getting paid to promote a particular business. You might as well say paid ads in YouTube video descriptions aren't ads because the referral links are next to social media links. It's nonsense. |
@jtracey @jake there was already a discussion here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/6523#issuecomment-1808968781
