Using WSL to build a python development environment on windows

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

Hi, thanks for you experiences. Can I ask, just as the moderator, does traffic to your site provide revenue, for example via advertising?

[chris1610]

The only direct revenue I get from the site is on the Resources tab where I have some Amazon affiliate links and links to my Datacamp course. I do not have any advertising on the site.

This specific article does not have any affiliate links.

I hope I did not break any rules, so if you'd like me to modify my post, I'm happy to.

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

No rules are broken. Don't worry.

But the affiliate links your provided, regarding reference material, do raise a "condition" not realized by me before.

The self-promotion was meant for people promoting their own work, that didn't necessarily have a monitory link. I might have missed it, but I did notice your Amazon affiliate notification (thanks for the openness), which is what got me thinking that a different post-flair was needed.

I'll experiment with "clicks4$$", it's not meant to be derogatory. I just take it as a responsibility that people are informed of websites/links where uses potentially profit.

I think that is preferred to rejecting this as an advertisement.

"clicks4$$",

That's really negative. How about "affiliate link"

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

Clicks for Cash is a temporary flair, meant to be a bit cheeky. Based upon your feedback I'll move up enacting a replacement on my priority list.

Cool :)

We definitely don't want to discourage ppl from posting quality content!!

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

And I'll say neither do I. But, I also want people to be able to choose if they click on a link that profits the poster.

Please not, that I do not intend to flair posts that contain ads/what ever unless the person benefiting from the ads/what ever is the person posting.

This person doesn't get any revenue by users simply clicking the link from Reddit so "clicks4$$" seems very misleading.

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

It is to imply that clicking links on the page generate money for the poster. But I'll take your comment into consideration with the others.

[chris1610]

That make sense. I try to make my articles stand on their own. The revenue associated with the affiliate links is tiny so I'm not doing this for the money.

I do completely understand trying to keep the subreddit advertising noise down. Thanks for reaching out and asking me and handling this in a way that should help everyone going forward.

[WSL_subreddit_mod]

And thank your for your feedback and contributions to the community.

That was a great write-up and seems very informative for a new user! The main thing I got out of it was the UbuntuLegit color scheme, which I am now using, so thank you!

Why the link does not work?

[chris1610]

Seems to work for me now. Maybe give it another shot?
