#2This appears to be a sales post, with a bunch of affiliate links.
Perhaps the actual products are good, but the credibility drops substantially as he has monetary incentive to list these things.

I think that's unfair.
He's providing valuable knowledge, and sharing his extensive experience, during a time when it's beginning to be really rather quite important. Affiliate links are a perfectly acceptable norm and, frankly, don't disadvantage you in the slightest (in fact they give you an advantage in some cases: discounts, free months of services, and more.)

Sorry about that -- I can change the post to remove them if that would make it more credible.
I'll be very surprised if I make any money from them anyway since the target audience (teachers and students) would get krisp for free, for example.

I've been wondering... what if it's a regular post or article without affiliate links? I've noticed a lot of similar articles talking about people using Microsoft Teams or Google Meet to hold classes remotely (without affiliate links), would that count as advertising?

Plus he's here in this thread and adding to the conversation. What does it hurt if you get the product for the same price and an affiliate makes some money?

#7OP, I'd be curious to hear more how you structure your lessons for an online environment. This post mostly details how you [technically] teach online classes. For the many teachers who are now in a remote environment, what should they know about online learning vs traditional classroom learning?

It can hurt a lot, see nearly any quack peddling homeopathy. But no, self-serving posts are not against the rules of this forum, nor inherently evil.

The strangest part was the weird piping through Amazon Workspaces to not accidentally show your popups? This is a sector game streamers have already perfected, you only need OBS, and you want to only capture individual windows, preferably not your browser ever.

I wouldn't worry about it. You've called out the affiliate links, so you're being transparent about it.
You can't satisfy all of the critics all of the time.
