Hearing the term "passive income" just reminds me of the Warrior Forum. What an ugly place. Especially when affiliate marketing is mentioned.

I understand someone can create an actual business, a SaaS or product (not some get rich quick e-book) and make passive income like that, but when I hear of affiliate marketing it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It just reminds me of people ripping off others or selling them sham, snake oil e-books for their own gain.
