As I write this, there are over 40 Amazon affiliate links on her homepage alone. And as you correctly point out, they're prominently placed (esp. using images) to achieve maximum click-through.

She says the affiliate revenue she's downplaying is way, way less than what the article assumes. Well, if I were her I'd:

1) disclose all my Amazon revenue and

2) donate it every month to someplace awesome

That'd probably get her more monthly subscribers, earn her more money, and silence the haters. Unfortunately her dissembling on this issue so far sort of edges me into the latter category.



That is very noble of you.
