they only sell bs anyway

  • They don't always sell BS, many creators link to gear they actually use
  • Most sites will attribute a sale to an affiliate link even if you end up buying something else ftom them.

The main concern of yours is legit. Definitely a "too good to be true" situation.

I don't buy from affiliate links either btw.

It's one thing to avoid particular marketplaces that have affiliate programs like Amazon, but if you're going to buy something from them anyway, wouldn't it be better to go out of your way to use an affiliate link? No affiliate link means giving more money to Amazon. Affiliate link means you can choose someone to get a small piece of the profits.
