I dislike affiliate links from a privacy perspective. I don't want to be tracked via my purchase to some creator's channel that would link my person to certain interest groups. I'm breaking those chains wherever there is a chance, usually by manually copying links and cutting off the tracking bit, or if it's a URL shortener like bit.ly and the likes, I'll open it in a private window and then copy the resolved URL minus tracking bit into my main browser window.
