That’s wrong?

EVERYONE is doing this. Not that I support it, but I’m surprised it still works.

Email clients do it, Reddit does it, tons of apps, even different browsers. I think at one point Microsoft was doing it in Edge (or was that only discount code stuffing?). Affiliate link and cookie rewriting is everywhere.

ETA:

Phia would override the referral codes from other affiliates and instead inject its own, allowing it to take credit for and potentially receive a commission on a purchase it didn’t earn.

Just to be clear, if you post a link on Reddit, Reddit rewrites the it to add their own affiliate links. Microsoft does this. Chat apps do it. It’s not a secret.

I should add “that’s wrong” is tongue in cheek. Obviously it’s wrong. My point is the rubicon has been crossed so many times it’s fucking ridiculous.
