So this is false.

Those were already on your website.

Okay good that the links are already in the site - you can’t expect me to remember every link from the top of my head
But even if it was, I don't know what would be wrong with that. It's a useful resource, and would benefit from a source of revenue to improve it further. What's going on here? Read this: http://www.cyrilchandelier.com/dont-be-a-free-user
If you monetize too, I don't think its immoral. Money is the driving force of Capitalism so taking money for a useful service is not a sleazy activity.
This is an example of a dark pattern. You create a clickbait title, for what is more than just a collection of websites with affiliate links, slap on a buzzword.
I've never attacked you personally, I just asked you to be more transparent. I can't be the only one thinking I landed on a affiliate landing page.
The main problem with recommending paysites you share profit with is it contradicts the entire purpose of crowdsourcing, which is building consensus based on the wisdom of the crowd, not the sole proprietor of the website seeking to benefit commercially.
Note that I've never mentioned it was wrong to make money, but simply telling you I was misled, like among others, to a clickbait affiliate landing page.
If this was crowdsourced I would've gone about differently, but if you feel attacked then I think that just speaks for itself.
I don't know which are the clickbait affiliate landing pages you're referring to. It'd be helpful if you would mark on the spreadsheet which links you believe to be clickbait affiliate links. That would help me make sense of your feedback, as right now it is unclear to me.
